I love this picture, the depth of field (or lack there of) is great, it adds an amount of emotion to the shot. It also places more focus on the aspects of the compostion in the foreground, thus taking the clutter out of the background completely. It would be interesting to see this same shot with the background in focus, but in my personal opinion this particular effect works best. It is amazing how a simple mundane everyday setting can produce such a unique composition.
Makes me want to go home, do some dishes, then Take shots of them ;) nice
