Examples of short depth of field

My examples of short depth of field:

Breezer; I feel this imagine of short depth of field could be stronger if there were a more colourful background.

Flowers; I like how this one has been capured as the colours are really bold and the the string in the background has given a nice blured effect.

Glasses; This was one of my first goes at short depth of field, i think the reflection in the lense gives a good effect to the image, i would like to try this again in different ways.

Flowers 2; Also in this imagine i think i could have given i better image background with using colour, however i like how you can see all the texture on the rose bud on this image.

 

Cats; I think this has shown good depth of field, however i think the image could be stronger with a better background.

 From my experience with working within short depth of field, I feel i have grasped the technique quite well, and enjoyed working in this area. However, i can see from my images i need to be more creative with what backgrounds and area's i work in, i think my images could be a lot stronger if i used more colour and interesting areas. When i am next doing this style of work, i will focus on these areas and work to improve on them.
