DOF is fine, white balance and exposure needs work though

Stamp,
Here's a crazy piece of advice... When you're shooting, image you're shooting film. Every image that is messed up (exposure, lighting, composition, colors, WHATEVER) is trash thus waste of money in purchasing and developing. And ask you self when shooting "why take this image?"
Many newcomers just shoot anything and when ask them "Why did you take it? what does it say for you?" the answer is I don't know... usually an image supposed to say something. GREAT photographers, managed to achieve that goal with every frame, while many others (me including) still working on getting to that level.
This will hone your skill and will take you to the next level.
I'm not sure if you currently do, but I recommend shooting in raw, it helps in situations like this with the exposure and white balance.
Shooting something interesting would also help

First, as stated in first post, it's mainly me playing with the DOF on my new lens.
Second, you may not think it's interesting, but I'm sure others may find it interesting. I don't find "modern art" interesting, but I don't go around bashing it, because I know a lot of others like it.
If you don't like it, and don't have anything constructive to say, why bother responding, except to make yourself look like a bitter, unhelpful, forum rat?

Get you try something original this has been done a thousand times
Yes I do recommend shooting in Raw format.I'm not sure if you currently do, but I recommend shooting in raw, it helps in situations like this with the exposure and white balance.
That looks better!... Did you just up the brightness and add a little more saturation? No, I don't shoot in RAW... I've been thinking about if the benefit of the pp adjustments were worth the 1/4 amount pictures able to be stored on my SD card in RAW. I guess you think it's worth it, eh? (no I'm not Canadian )

As for your photo, I used the levels (Ctrl + L) and pulled the white off the white on the chip. Then opened it with Topaz Adjust 3 and fixed the exposure. Then opened it with Topaz Detail and hit it with creative detail, then opened it with Topaz Denoise 3 and hit it with a reduction.
I think it's a fine shot. I would have cropped more of the right and left more of the left in the frame, however.
