Hmmm hopefully I get this right...sort of...I lost my password on that photo hosting site so I kinda had to start from scratch. Anyway I can't seem to get photo bucket to take the size of 1028x768 so this is what i ended up with. Shots of some flowers in front of a shrine in Santa Monica that has some of Ghandi's ashes in it. Don't ask about settings...I point...turn the thing...push the button...and try again if it comes out wrong haha!!!

Both of those photos actually look really good. There's some good composition and lighting in both of them.
For the purpose of this contest though, both of those photos have a shallow depth of field. The difference between the two of them is the actual focal point, in the first photo the focal point is in the distance, and the foreground is in focus in the second photo.
If you have the ability to adjust the f/stop or aperture, then you can change the depth of field.
Let us know what the name and model of camera you are using and maybe we can figure out for you how to adjust those settings.
And remember the rule of numbers: the more photos you take, the better the chances are that you'll have a few more incredible keepers!
I will usually burn through a couple hundred shots or more depending on what I'm shooting, just to have the chance that some of the good or great ones, turn out extraordinary.
