I bought some crayons at San Francisco airport because they make a good photo subject and they were cheaper than they are here. I was a bit disappointed with this shot. I couldn’t get the DoF I wanted. I will definitely play more with them.
I really want to improve my photography. So, if you like my photos, please let me know why. If you don't like them, please let me know what you think would improve them. Thanks!

This is a very nice shot. The angle that you took the photo reminds me of a child, with chin resting on the table, thinking of which color I wanted. Your DoF isn’t bad, I like the drastic contrast from blurd to the crisp orange. I’m in love with orange, so maybe that’s why I love it so! :)
Thanks Lorilee :-)
I like a dramatic DoF myself, I can’t remember what I was disappointed with… perhaps I wanted the plane of focus to be in the middle of the box, but I might not have been able to achieve it with the lens I was using (i.e., I was too close to the box).
That’s interesting that you love orange! It’s not a very common favourite colour (as far as I can see)… can be good though.
