No, the photographer used DOF correctly to lead our attention to the

Ditto here. The story was the CIA guy, not the President. Excellent
timing on the shot too- sums things up well.

Reading some news on Reuters web-site, I saw this photo:

(from this new article
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2006-05-07T163941Z_01_N05403243_RTRUKOC_0_US-BUSH-CIA.xml

I was surprised that the Reuters was satisfied with this photo where
one person is out of focus, and that the photographer didn't use
DOF more properly. The object is not sharp (on this photo).
(I don't want to start a politically-charged thread/flame related to
You-Know-Who, so, please no political comments.)
It's hard to say what photographer's situation was though.
Am I being too cirtical here? What's your opinion?
