52 Frames - Week 8 - Shallow Depth Of Field

EC: f/1.4

At times, I go to my favorite coffee shop, Hansa, in Libertyville, IL, and comment on photos submitted by my 52Frames followers. In doing so this week, my intent was to also make a photo for the current challenge.
 I decided this photo best represents my intent, circumstances and the prompt.  Featured on my laptop is Heidi Mulrain's excellent (as usual) submission from last week.

52Frames - Week 12 - Shallow Depth Of Field

As seen within a lounge chair at our resort in Palm Desert, CA.  In a little twist of the assignment, I used shallow DoF to frame the subject which lies in the background.

52Frames - Week 6 - Shallow Depth of Field

In 2014, we were so moved by the story of Nicky Imber, who escaped Dachau by impersonating a German officer, we bought one of his numbered sculptures at a gallery in Tzfat, Israel.
