Take 2!

I was so excited when I came back with my homework for my camera class and then I read the fine print of our assignment.  I was actually supposed to take an image of the same subject twice.  The first one with a shallow depth of field and the next one with a long depth of field!!

Well it was off to the bunch of reeds again this afternoon, back on my hands and knees with the tripod and here is the result.  What a messy lot this is compared to the one I took yesterday.  I have to say I'm swinging towards the one with the shallow depth of field.  Would love feedback from my blip buddies!
