You can have a small DOF (depth of field = the "zone" that appears sharp 
in the final image) regardless of your camera to subject distance, like 
in this image. The things that affect DOF are magnification and 
aperture. Magnification is affected by focal length and subject distance.

The original image thus looked like a photgraph taken with a long lens 
using a very, very large aperture.
