Turtle & DOF by digitalrn

Turtle & DOF

My hand carved turtle arrived today in the mail, so now I have all the pieces I ordered, and I can now begin working on my office. I grabbed a quick photo of him, and thought I'd keep the fish in the background to give me some depth of field. I always have problems with depth of field. I usually attain dof by accident. At least I managed to get some.
I got a nice turtle like that in Fiji - bought it off the beach - in fact "Mr Man" went flying through the sky on it!

Lovely shot - like the placements of these carvings to give the DOF effect.
