Very nice. I like the shallow DOF, the dutch angle and the rich color. Very well done. :D

Help me with the terminology, please.
What's a dutch angle?

No, he means oof. Out of focus. He's saying that since the depth of field is so very shallow, that it almost appears as though none of the shot is in focus. With the hand/fingers and the cue ball slightly blown out, it certainly gives that impression at a glance.

Yes, nice composition but I feel there should be a subject in focus, the balls, hands or eyes...


The "eyes" have it !

thanks
yeah the picture is a little OOF, but I kinda just snapped it.
I shot it at f1.8 and 3200 iso because it was quite dark in there and I was just playing around with the cam.

I dig it! Has a great feel. Even with the soft focus my eyes go to the hand right away. The light accents the hand nicely as well.
