    This turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected... Finally got some semblance of what you were looking for... have totally forgotten how to use my "real" camera.... As the words say, Kashmir was trying to "help" and I ended up getting some great ones of him... not the subject matter I wanted to use...

    So I went out today and tried to get a pic that would work for this challenge. I hope this one does, I shut the aperture down.

    My first thought was more of an oh no groan, but like always this was really easy, and I love the outcome. Honestly this scaled down version of the pic doesn't do it justice.

    I have a beautiful photo that meets the standards, except that my best friend made it. It's of her son, she sent it today. Is that allowed, @FarrahJobling?

    Thanks for the challenge, Farrah!! I haven't really focused on a shallow depth of field for a long time, so it was fun to experiment for this challenge on my phone!

    this is a new technique for me and I have to improvise a bit for my scrapping program, hope my page meets the requirements.

    scraplifted the example layout because I liked it so much and used the "portrait" setting on my iphone, I always forget to use that feature so thank you for reminding me :)

    Thanks for the challenge. Today we had a beautiful day and on the hike, with my dogs, I have shot this photo.
