Exercise 2: Focus at a set aperture

For this exercise I decided to use some decorative balls made out of dried plants and natural fibres from my living room.  I like the texture and ruggedness of these.  I lined the balls up with the smallest one in front to create some depth and then positioned myself and an angle so all three could be easily viewed.
Each shot was taken with an aperture of f5.3 at 75mm using my 18-105mm lens.  I prefer the shot where the focus is in the front plane as it draws you into the image giving you a sense of movement and greater depth.  Focus on the rear plane is my least favourite as I find the blurriness in the front distracting and unpleasing to the eye.
