Continued experimentation with 50 mm

Still trying to learn how to use this lens effectively. With the capability to very narrowly set where the focus will be the "story" of the photo must be thought through before shooting. A few examples below, click each image to see details:


OK photo! A bit too blurry in the foreground perhaps and the composition is so-so


Focus is where I wanted it to be, eye slides from left to right, vertical spoons "pop", texture of table cloth nice


Poor photo, key elements in foreground out of focus without any good reason.


Same here! Need to work those f-stops better!
