Shallow is

a smile at a stranger.

 

Shallow is

my “good, fine, and you?”

 

Shallow is

just inches of water – you can see right through.

 

The less I say, the more it’ll mean.

The more you see, the less you’ll dream.

No darting eyes allowed in this scene.

 

Shallow is

a face painted flawless.

 

Shallow is

a high-heeled shoe.

 

Shallow is

this photograph – you’ll see what I want you to.

 

P.S. What does this have to do with my photo? I have many photos of this particular bud, but this is the only one with such shallow depth of field (how much of the photo is in focus). Having too much depth of field can make a photo busy and take away from the subject. Of course, it’s all subjective – but I find myself shooting shallow most days.
