In my opinion shallow depth of field, allows the viewer to focus on the main image while the background is not in focus. To achieve the shallow depth of field, I had to put on the “macro effect” on my camera (it looks like a flower). At first it was a bit difficult, I could not achieve the “blurry” out of focus effect in the background. This photograph shows the texture and fine details in he statue. Although it may appear ugly, it the chips, and stains in this statue show its natural beauty. In the background the texture of the leaves is also noticeable. The use of the shallow depth of field creates a pleasing photographic composition.
