Interesting shot and probably a difficult capture with the high contrasts. The whites along the top background are distracting to me. Nice detail in the post & chain.
Nice dof, but it's not really all that shallow. "Well how shallow is shallow?" I hear you ask... I'm not sure, but I feel I need to be seeing a very narrow focal plane.
