I chose using this photo because I really like the depth of field. There is not too much blur to totally disco the background, nut just enough to take the attention away from the subject which is the person who seems to be petting a rabbit.
I chose this picture because of the amount of focus that is being placed on the boxer or fighter training. The photo being back-lit silhouetting the subject only really showing the the color of the gloves and the back ground

This image has a strong yet subtle depth of field, in which provides the emphasis on the 2 subjects, in this case, both fighters and the impact of the punch.
