I'm really liking your series of shallow DOF captures in this challenge. Hard picking one over another, I likem all. Great job Cat. -Techo

Thanks Neo, Christina, CJ and Brent. I am really glad that you all liked it. It may be hard to identify due to a close-up shot, but yes, Christina is right, this is a tomato. Brent, Your expectation is justified, and you are correct. The focus plane on the tomato does follow a curved path, may not be very obvious in this square crop. But in the original, it is very easily seen. -Cat

Very nice Cat, the razor thin DOF wouldn't work in many instances but is well suited for the subject. Strange how the focused area isn't in the roundish form one would naturally expectit to be (or me anyway), as it appears to run in a narrow strip horizontally as well as vertically too- but only above the horizontal strip. Mind boggling! Well done.

Great macro Cat! Great color, composition, lighting and the thinnist DOF I've seen! :-) CJ

Looks like a tomato to me! Excellent DOF shot, and yeah, that's thin!

Talk about narrow DOF. It is about as thin as the edge of that knife.
