........................to find anything interesting to photograph with my new toy so, here's my first.

Try not to get over excited about this one.

I like it hey, DoF might be a touch too shallow, but it creates a cool effect! Might also crop with a bit more space on the bottom left, but not critical.

I see what you are saying.
Now I have posted it, it looks for all the world like the lens vignetts quite badly wide open.

Hard to tell Soup, the only bit where I can see vignetting is top left but there is none top right. You were using wide open aperture so shallow DoF is to be expected and I feel it works fine here. I think it could do with an extra half stop of light, it seems a touch dark BUT i am at work right now and this monitor is very dark so it might be fine when I look at home.

not a fascinating image for anyone not into cars (like me) but good treatment of the subject so well done for getting out and taking pictures even when you couldn't find much to take

Cheers,
Rob

Yes! I think my next post will be one on "Monitor Calibration on a Budget"

I like the DOF & the centre is pin sharp. I would agree with a little more space needed bottom left though.
