Your dof is quite nice. I like how the big guy in the middle is so crips and clear and the others are not. Kind of a king with his harem.
Ok, so i am a bit off kilter today, sorry

Share Your Shots section is a great place to show off your favorite shots. With that being said, we do ask that if you are wanting help/critique that you post in the critique section. Thanks so much!

Default Great shot!
Great shot. I love the backlight from the sun. It really shows off the peach fuzz of a newly sharpened pencil. Nice work.

Thanks, I actually used a flexible desk lamp as the light source and experimented with different angles etc.
