I usually like shallow DOF. I'm going through a shallow dof phase. :) In this image, I'm not totally sure if it helps or not. The light source on the paint tubes feels overly harsh, and leads to reflections that are distracting on the blue background. I'm also wondering if part of the problem might just be color choice? The image feels harshly lit, and the white being the only infocus element enforces that feeling. I might consider diffusing the light source with a piece of paper to soften the light and move the red or orange to be the infocus color. (assuming you are trying to get a shallow DOF shot.) 5
use deeper DPF and make every one clear would match the topic better becase what I learned from your picture is that you are surely gonna take the first one and not even look at the others.
