 Your Second Challenge: Depth of Field (DOF)
For this challenge, you need to employ your knowledge of Depth of Field.
Your image needs to be taken FOR THIS CHALLENGE. I will be checking the EXIF data to make sure photos were taken after May 1st, 2007. For film photos, I obviously can't prove you took it after the date, so I'm going to have to go with the honor system and trust that you guys are following the rules. Subject matter can be anything you want it to be. The idea here is to play around with your depth of field... Make it unbelievably shallow, try a wide DOF that includes everything, or test out the middle ground. The key here is seeing what you can do with interesting focusses.

Second Place: [link] by NinjaFodder
Third Place: [link] by Heather[[FACE]]

Second: 900g
Third: 300g
There will be no deadline extensions this time around. Whatever photos are in by Tuesday, May 15th will be the ones we vote on.

Thanks for the offer, Watercolor, but a better idea would be to donate it to AGVegetarian. He's been wanting to run his own contest but doesn't have the funds for it right now. smile

[Girl Hearts Crayons] Thanks for the offer, Watercolor, but a better idea would be to donate it to AGVegetarian. He's been wanting to run his own contest but doesn't have the funds for it right now. smile haha >__< I'm gonna run one and just give 1,000 gold to first and second place. That isn't too bad right? That'll leave me with about 350g. XP
