Challenge: Shallow DOF (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Sigma SD9
Location: kitchen
Date: Feb 8, 2004
Aperture: 4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30s
Date Uploaded: Feb 8, 2004

 A water pitcher and glass of water. Cloned to get rid of dust. 50mm macro. Tripod. I went to f4 because the 2.8 wasn't giving enough detail in the glass. Lighting from two windows on the right with a reflector on the left that gives the golden glow.
I left the blown highlights in because I like how they add to the feeling of light streaming in.

If the photo had something with a soft focus in the foreground to indicate a 'Shallow Depth of Field' I would have given it another point.

Good, clean, simple shot. Meets challenge, but isn't particularly special beyond those criteria.

Really nice DOF I think it would have looked better if you had blue water in the jug. That is just me! I would have gave you a 9

Very nice shot. Might also be interesting to focus on surface of the water in the pitcher.
