 I was surprised this worked out at all. Out of camera it was washed out. Levels brought it back into check.

Shot on paper on the table using full manual everything. I was trying to do a shallow DoF and while not failed, its not perfect either. I am sure some people will dislike where the focus is. Probably would have gone better with a boring sharp image.

I think I would have preferred the front chocolate to be in focus and have it fading as it went back. The shallow depth of field in the front feels a little uncomfortable. 6
