AzAP Photo Challenge #39B: Shallow DoF (February 24th-April 10th)

[Matt Ottosen]

The rules for this photo challenge are:

1.  Alright, time for something a little different.  No specific aircraft/airport/military branch this time, this time we're just looking for a shallow depth of field.  Get out, have fun, and stay safe!

2.  The photo must be taken during the challenge period.  The goal of the photo challenge is to get out and try something new, not to got through old pictures to find something that matches the theme.  Any photos posted that are taken outside of the challenge period will be deleted from the thread.

3.  One photo per member (you can change your photo as many times as you like until the deadline).

4.  Photos should be uploaded directly to the "Photo Challenge" thread for the current contest (this thread).

5.  All photos must be submitted to the Photo Challenge thread no later than 11:59pm Arizona (GMT-07) time the day the challenge ends.  Voting will begin shortly thereafter and the poll will remain open for seven days.  Any photos posted after the deadline will be deleted from the thread and not eligible for consideration.

6.  The winning photographer will select the theme for the next assignment.  Keep in mind that assignments that are aircraft- or airport-specific may limit the ability of other members to participate.

7.  Be safe and have fun!

8.  When the poll opens, you may vote for your own photo.
