This image is of a local canola field with a shallow DOF. It was made by using the sliders in the LR5 Basic Menu. The flowers look as if they could be embers left after a fire.

The shallow DOF provides an interesting effect, but I feel there's not quite enough in sharp focus to really anchor the image. Perhaps one of the flowers larger in the frame would have done it.

It's always worthwhile to experiment and post these kinds of shots to see what others think!

Thanks for the input Jim. I felt the same way, but since this is the first time I've tried anything like this, I really wanted to see what others thought.
