Nice entry BTW.
Many people are confused by and misuse the term DOF (meaning depth of field) which refers to the in-focus part of the image. It has nothing to do with the quality of the OOF portion of the image. Every image in this contest, so far, exhibits limited DOF, since all have some OOF (out of focus) areas; however, not all show bokeh, IMHO.
