So I finally got to sit and have a deep look into this month's gallery. I've got something from the upper shelf in the store to stand up for the PUG but it didn't work out - the pictures suprised me with the quality again.
I like a lot of stuff from this month and this are some that worked the best for me at this moment: - " BristleCone Pine " by Bruce Dayton - You got me interested in those pines, too. Very well lited with enough of sharpness behind to recognize the background. Very good use of DOF :-) - " The view from a chess board. " by Byron Butler - great perspective! Seems like you've pushed this lens' DOF to its limits. If not for the commentary I might ask the same question as your co-workers did. - " Green Zen " by Flavio Minelli - a quote from you: "This picture inspires calm and meditation, just like those japanese gardens." - true, true! (and I'm not saying this because of the beverage). Great pic! - " Leaf " by Ed Keeney - a very nice one, a little abstract image. Except for very well blurred background I enjoyed the colors that bring all the positive feelings I have when thinking of autumn. - " Peachy " by Steve Larson - very tasty one. So it seems I preffered shallow depth of field for this theme. Don't know why... And then there is a special word of appreciation for having shalow and deep DOF in one shot: - " Macro-wide angle " by Dan Scott - very nice trick.
