Shallow depth of field is a great way to isolate your subject from its environment, and draw it into focus against an obscured background. This technique is used a lot in portrait, sports and macro photography, or any situation where you want to zero in on the action of your subject, or increase the amount of light going into your lens. This is a fun and creative technique, and a great skill to have in your armoury.

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
