What is wrong with this shot? [M8]

Actually, no. The DOF was not a consideration.. the vignetting was just for a bit of "style".. or atmosphere...
My point is DoF should have been a consideration if you wanted to blur the background any more. But perhaps you like it as is do you?

Yes, you are correct but blurring the background was really not my intention in this case. I believe I shot this at about f4 and at the distance I was from the taco stand and the lens I was using a blurred background was really not possible... even at f2.8 it would have not added much blur to the shot.

No problem if this was not your intention of course but otherwise you could have focussed a bit closer at f/2.8 IMHO.

Depends on what you like . Myself i like the dimension or 3D effect. The second one draws me in visually.
