I chose this because the focus is on the object in the middle and the things behind it is blurred out.
Rule of composition:
The amount in which the camera is focused on the closest object and fades out the background of the image.
Why it is a good photo:
this is a good photo because the background is blurred the right amount so one can see what it is but also can see which area of the horse is being focused on. the lighting allows the colors of the horse to really stand out and its a very artistic angle to take the photo.
How it can be improved:
try to straighten the camera up a bit more and try another filter to make the color slightly more illuminating
I took this picture from inside a coffee shop in San Francisco. I loved the humoristic effect that the juxtaposition of these 2 signs created. When I took the picture, the focus was going all the way from the foreground to the background and I knew that this picture, like all my pictures, will go through PhotoShop (PhotoShop, magical word!) The only difference between Background, middle ground and foreground was the over exposure of the middle ground. I color corrected the sign that was pinkish and gave it a whiter colder look. I also gave more body to the middle ground by darkening with the "level" tool and added a small but visible "radial blur" to guide the viewer from the foreground to the background. I masked the "RITE AID" sign to protect it from the radial blur and emphasized the contrast to revive the red color to emphasize the "danger" or unhealthiness of the situation and/or message.
This tree was a mass of blossom. I think the narrow depth of field and blue sky background make this individual cluster of flowers stand out a little better.
I discovered that taking photos of bikers is challenging! This shot was my best attempt at blurring the background slightly to show movement and getting a decent composition.
A brief study in depth of field. Taken atop my uni's parking structure.
Also, an exercise in image compression with regards to noticable artifacts vs file size =P
I like this image, it shows a sense of depth from one side to the other. The oven also reflects the vibrant green in the garden, which gives the image more colour.
Taken with a standard lens and UV filter.
All these where taken with a ball that changes colors, the camera was placed on a tripod in front of a full body mirror . I had the ball wrapped in some plastic wrap, and tied to some twine to the plastic wrap and swung the ball in front of mirror. I like the results and plan to experiment a bit more with the process. May slow down the swing and adding some more depth to the light.

This is an example of a flower taken at my middle lens setting. The flower appears closer and more dramatic through its sharpness in contrast to the background.
Fstop=5.6
The grasses on the forward and back ground are blurry. The focus is on the middle. The houses and trees on the back ground are also blurry so you can tell the depth in this picture.
I chose this picture because while taking this picture i was trying to focus on the rose in the middle, yet every rose was somewhat captured even the little white flowers.
In this picture I changed my shutter speed in order to get a clear picture of the water as it was falling

The depth of field in this photograph is very narrow. I took this picture at Castle Rock State Park. I was experimenting with very close up photographs, trying to get the camera as close to the subject as possible. This is a photograph of moss on a rock. Because the photo was taken so close to the subject, the image is very abstract.
The closest part of the sofa in the foreground is in focus, closer to the viewer, while the unfocused background of the picture shows the depth the couch is reaching into.
