What a surprising image Rags. Love the focus of the rod as it bursts out of the wood. Such a startling contrast! Also, I am a big fan of the bokeh lights in the background :-)

Great abstract shot Ragsa. I love the DOF, really makes the rod jump out at you. To answer your question on my image from yesterday. It's really easy do the "watermark" look. I did it in Photoshop. First create the rectangle using the Rectangular Marquee Tool. Once you've created the rectangle, press shift F5 and fill it, with a black overlay at 50% opacity. You can add a stroke around the edge to make it stand out more or you can leave it off. Then you use your Text tool to write your name and then flatten the layers before you save it!!! And voila - shaded watermark on your pic! :) Just mail me if you're having problems!

Great DOF to bring the attention to the rod. Well done!

Good lines. Unusual subject. The simplest things are sometimes the most interesting.

great dof and texture in this shot: a strong contrast between the sharpened processing in the foreground and the blurred-out bokeh in the background.

Thats a good shot, well placed angle, the DOF makes it an exciting and dynamic image.
