Loafers...

Kind of painterly, reminds me of something by Bruegel the Elder. And yes, shallow focus, low depth of field, wide aperture. Shooting in high-contrast dappled shade under trees is extremely hard for correct exposure. This one's very successful.

Déjeuner sur la plage

I love the depth of focus in the picture- or is it shallow focus? The busy scene of bathers is a soft blur as backdrop, and the lighted, sharp focus of the boys are a nice visual effect. Lightly 3D to my eyes. Nicely composed scene.
