taken with my D70, 50mm f/2.2, 1/20 second.

I think the color in the background is stealing attention away from the subject. I like the idea but I'd like to see just a little more DOF.

shame about the blue background however i like the angle and the way the focus goes gradually further down the neck of violin... nice shot !

 

[black moon]

yes the boldness of the blue draws the attention and that is not suppoed to be the focal point correct?

 

[Puscas]

The part that is in focus should be (well no, could be) bigger. I mean: in the frame. The DOF is ok, IMO.

I agree on the blue.

Funny: I quite LIKE the blue.
Aperture could have been a tad smaller to get a BIT more DOF, but all in all I like the idea and also exposure, including the background. To me the colour adds to the picture and does not distract too much. The shallow DOF distracts me more.
