blow that dust off of your lens

no they are good, i'd like to see the focal of the lens more on the side facing that camera your shooting with if that makes sense, i don't know why i just like the focals there i guess im just weird

You know i feel like DOF is a personal preference on shots like these. For example i think a lot of people would say that the first shot would be better with a larger DOF, but then again having a small DOF right in the middle of the shot hones your eye to one specific area. I think the first shot is really unique in that your eye finds the focal point and then has to figure out what its looking at. I really like it. As for the second shot, i don't care for it as much, I would have eliminated the lens cap and cloth? and just focused on the lens (which btw that lens will be the next camera-related purchase i get!). But hey just keep playing around with it and you'll find the shot you're looking for!
