I have added some more shells to the picture. I wasn't sure if I should have increased the DOF, but I always like a shallow DOF

Pocket full of shells

I also experimented with a clay pigeon...

Pigeon hunting

Let me know what you think!

Hey, pretty cool! I too like the shallow depth of field, I have to admit. Love the monotones of the first picture, and the bright colors of the 2nd! Great work.

I love the b/w, Ross. I'm a huge fan of shallow DOFs also. It helps the eye focus on what YOU as the photographer want the viewer to see. Well done!
