POTD - Aperture - 2/6/08

First I want to thank everyone for all the sweet responses the last few days!! So much appreciated.

Ok, I'm cheating! I didn't take this today, obviously as you can see the green grass. I thought it was a good example for the theme. I took this shot for my photography class with Wendy Schultz and she loved it! I stepped out of the box here . . . LOL. I don't like to draw attention to myself while taking photos, but for this one I layed down on the ground in front of a bunch of parents to get the shot.

What do you think? CC away!Nikon D70s - Manual - ISO400 - 1/400 - f/4

Great DOF! And even though the in-focus football seems to be the focal point, I love the way the coach has his hands on his hips! It really makes the photo!
