Inspiration, Konica Hexanon 60mm f/1.2, Portrait, Teaching pointThe law wasn’t broken here, but a rule was.
A shallow depth of field was used to unconventionally blur the foreground figure (policewoman). It’s an unconventional choice because your mind normally expects the most foreground elements to be in focus. Violating this “rule” can prove for a distracting image, but I believe it works here because of the particular composition and because the two officers are mirroring each other with their expressions.

But now I’m high; running wild…

The halo-effect, around the drinks tray, of the out-of-focus palm tree foliage is what completes this shot for me; I was lucky to capture the scene at this moment.
