Hi Gwen,
You have a real knack with the backgrounds in your compositions in these short-depth-of-focus shots.
I'm always drawn--in a good way--to your backgrounds, which consistently balance very well in energy against the already well-composed "foreground" subject.
The backgrounds themselves each possess quite nice compositions of their own.
Can we say that this is your forte? Keep 'em coming!

I love how you used the depth of field for this shot. Well done!
Thanks Moy and Pixie!
Moy, I totally hear you about the backgrounds - it's always a fun surprise. While I've gotten better at seeing what will make particularly interesting backgrounds, and estimating which fstop will get me the effect I want, it's never totally predictable, and the camera playback never conveys quite what's going on, so I am kept in suspense until I can get to a computer.
I also have to thank you for reminding me about that aspect, as I went out with the camera that same day with backgrounds firmly in mind, and I'm really pleased with the results. So thanks for the inspiration!
