Beautiful picture, but even most parts of the fore and background are in reasonable focus. That does not comply with this challenge, since it is about Shallow DOF.
This is a really nice photo. I cannot see how it fits this challenge. The framing and the toning is really well done. It's not very dynamic and it is a little dreary, but its not a bad shot.
Very nice image with a big ugly border.... However, your DOF does not appear to be very shallow. In fact, this would fit much better in a soft focus challenge!

This style looks familiar, so can hardly wait to see whose shot this is. I love the shot. I'm not entirely crazy about the border - it seems to draw my eyes away from the photo, and that's a sorry shame, 'cause the photo is a thing of beauty. 10
this is a stunning image, although, i'm having a hard time relating it to the challenge topic. judging it solely on it's own, it's beautiful. the tones and softness work well...except...the horizon is tilted. :( easily corrected in your photo editing software.
Beautiful picture, but I see absolutely nothing to do with SHALLOW DOF. Everything looks like a soft focus to me. I think the border could have been a little more subtle as well. But I see no way that this picture fits the challenge.
This is a beautiful image. I really like the subject matter, composition and the choice of black and white, but I'm not entirely sure how this meets the shallow depth of field criteria.
If you'd like to point out how you feel this image adheres to the challenge rules, please respond to this comment and I'll rethink my vote...because I really like this shot.
I know you've probablye been told this but this is the opposite of Shallow DOF (unless I'm missing something). It is, however, a fantastic picture. Better than anything I've ever taken.
A gorgeous shot, immaculately and sensitively rendered, which (o so unfortunately!) is presented with an extremely distracting border, redundant and, to my senses, inappropiate for such a fine image. The horizon suffers from a marked, albeit correctable, counter-clockwise tilt (which, oddly, contributes balance via the increased weight on the lower right of the image).
are exquisite.
Everything one would expect from a great photo is here. It's undeniable faults are easily correctable.
Needless to say, to rate this entry is not an easy matter. ;-)
Beautiful, but missing the brief - this is long Depth Of Field (literally!). Got to score it low for that reason I'm afraid, but outside of the challenge this is lovely.
I truly love this shot, but I don't think it realy fits in the shallow depth a field area. Landscape like this is really hard to control the DOF in, because mostly you are shooting a infinity
absolutely gorgeous lanscape. I don't know that I would characterize this as shallow DOF, but it's a great image. the metal loops on the right are a little distracting, though.
A magical image, apart from two things. The Border, the contrast of which ruins the delicacy of the image for me (and did you add one border, sharpen and then add the other?) - as I look at this that big white rectangle constantly imposes itself on my eye; and it njust doesn't sem to be applying the technique at all.
this is a trulky beautiful and amazing photograph, but is it shallwo DOF? can you please offer me some explanation so i can vote this higher as its photographic integrity deserves.
