For this exercise I printed out three copies of a photograph of a mouse I took in a lane in Paris not far from St Germain des Pres. At first it was a colourful man's head sticking out the wall which drew my attention and then I noticed graffiti of a sprayed image of a mouse's head. Lining the prints up I took three images at f2.8 focussing on each mouses head in turn.

Looking at each of the images I think I prefer Frou Frou 3 because the other 2 mice are thrown completely out of focus and the foreground mouse is completely sharp and stands our very effectively.
The angle of view clearly has an impact on the relative sharpness as does the focal length, which was 70mm in this instance, and which had the effect of compressing the image. Had I used a wide angle I would have probably achieved a higher degree of separation, however, for this exercise I do like how the mouse stands out clearly in image 3.
And for those interested in the man in the wall.......
...........and the mouse.
Frou Frou is cute and I like the way you've used humour to do an apparently mundane exercise.
