i don't find it ridiculous at all. fact is photogs copycat your style. imo, you were the one who made this type of shot popular with those who try and emulate your style. they see a dean dof shot and think they must do a dof shot, with little regard to the context or audience or what it takes to put together such a picture, let alone video.
thus the original pic having 1/2 a head shot and a crazy tight dof. it's hard to get this shot right, especially with a camera lacking dof preview. but here we are discussing dof as a porn shot.
