This wasn't shot for the challenge but I thought I'd try and shoehorn something in. I did discover that my cameras date is wrong (but still within the challenge times)!
I entered this an hour before the deadline and I think I should have been more careful about the three techniques I listed. While the aperture was only 6.3 the shot doesn't show that the DOF isn't that large (I guess it depends on what I've got the lens zoomed at as well).
I'll be happy with any score above 6.
OK OK! 70 votes and 11 comments all telling me it's a Deep DOF, not a Shallow DOF. I get it :)

here is another one...I a really starting to 2nd guess my understand of Deep DOF and Shallow DOF...I would say this is Deep DOF...otherwise an excellent picture
Great photo, and I can see the centered composition and leading lines, however this is more of a Deep DOF than a shallow one to me. I will assume that you meant Deep DOF and will score it accordingly. Good luck.
This really doesn't look like shallow depth of field. My eyes are lousy, but looks pretty deep to me. (but then again, I don't focus well on small things.)
Centered Composition, check. Leading Lines, not so much for me, but implied. Shallow DOF, no way. This is sharp from infinity right up to the very foreground. Did ya type the wrong one in?
