DOF is DOF and does not imply necessarilly that there is an OOF
background (or foreground element for that matter) contributing to the
composition. DOF can be from a few feet from the lens to the horizon
and nothing OOF in the image.

Even if the DOF is shallow, there are a variety of situations where
there is no background "information" of the sort associated with OOF:
A blue sky,
unlit background of a studio shot,
shot of a "plane" subject such as a painting.

and many more.

Don't label people as doofi before you think things through...

Cheers,
Alan

Does a portrait with OOF background count? I have a very nice shot of
my cat that would qualify in that case (although the blurred
background is of an even colour and texture).

You should shoot something new that complies with the mandate. Merely
uploading an image that you have already made is against the spirit of
the SI, which is all about shooting to a specific brief within the
time allowed.

Of course there is one contributor to the SI who almost always
supplies a shot from his increasingly dull archive of incompetent
snapshots. However, the rules ("rulz" ) were never supposed to apply
to Alan Browne, only to everyone else.

As do I -- but I think that the rules include it being shot
*during* the challenge period, and you lose points with pre-existing
photos. Otherwise, I might actually submit that shot. :-)

Enjoy,

Sure, but the idea is to go out and shoot for the challenge if
possible...but if you can't, archive shots are allowed.

I'll add...unless there has been a change in the original rules. Al?
