Can a photographic-retard like myself politely request a laymans definition of "Depth of Field" in this context?
Preferably one using small words?
Thanks :-)

"Shallow depth of field" means that only part of the photograph is in focus. This is usually an intentional thing. The OP seems to be lamenting that shallow depth of field is dominating more and more photographic shooting these days.

By contrast, in Jamie's photo, all of the photo is in sharp focus.
