Perspective Challenge

  Here is my photo for the perspective challenge that Katrina gave me a few days ago.  The story behind the picture is that we went to Sundance, Utah for Brunch (which is amazing) and once we were done, Monica and Katrina were looking in one of the shops and I went outside to sit on a rocking chair.  As I was sitting I started to think of what I could use for this perspective challenge.  I first walked over to a bridge and thought about using the metal lines of the walls but the background on the sides of piled up snow (with some yellow snow from dogs) did not make for a great background, even if it was going to be blurred.  I then walked over to a table and 4 chairs that were set up on a corner of the outside walk way.  Along the entire side was a rope that was used as a wall.  I immediately thought that it would be cool to have the rope be a close up focus of the picture and have the table and chairs blurred in the background.  I really liked that idea and after about 3 test shots from different angles, I finally came up with a winner.

The following picture is what I chose to fulfill my challenge and I really do love it!  Not only do I like the chairs and table blurred in the back, but I LOVE the shallow depth of field and detail on the focused part of the rope.  This was taken with my iPhone 4s (I forgot my camera in the car). Let me know what you think in the comments section.
