Deep DOF means everything in the frame must be in focus. I'm sure you've read that by now so I'lll comment on other parts. The foreground mushroom seems a bit oversharpened. The other two show signs of compression. Lighting is a bit strong, too.
Interesting subjects with good composition and lighting. But the back subjects are not in focus and that is distracting. This would be a great photo if it had deep DOF.
MMMMM, Morrels. I am from Michigan. We used to go up north and pick Morrels. Haven't gone in awhile, But my buddies have been going every week. They said they picking dried up for the year. Love the picture. I gave you a 7.
Oops. I'm not convinced about the shot anyway, leaving aside the challenge; it would seem to me that the variation in these shapes cries out exactly for a deep depth of field rather than this shallow one - had they been identical objects, and had you arranged them so that therre was more progression through the field of focus, then perhaps it would work. 3 - mainly for missing the challenge.
This does not show Deep depth of field. It shows shallow depth of field. Deep depth of field is when the background is in focus to infinity. It's an interesting subject but I don't think this is the best approach to photographing such texturally interesting objects. Try lighting it from the side to capture all the nooks more dramatically. Also, try moving in closer so that the mushrooms become more significant to the frame.
hellloooooo...this was the deep dof challange...and you submit here o shallow dof photo...deep dof means that all your objects in the composition should have been in focus...or the focus difference between the closest and the furtherest should have been as tiny as possible...
Clarity is outstanding on the first mushroom in the foreground but the two at the back blurred - telling me that this is shallow rather than deep. Good composition though.
