Dof and fov does not correlate that way. Though by general rule, any lens will have a shallower dof if subject is moved closer to camera.

I gave a obama-not-bad.jpg face...

I thought it was a 5 membered group dancing at 1st glance, that's before I noticed that they're the same face (unless they're quintuplets).

Good job!

Welcome! Spread some full frame poison here from those 2 beasts.

Is your camera shooting in aRGB or sRGB? It is best to use sRGB if you do not have the hardware for aRGB, simple as that.

Also see how it exaggerates the foreground subjects, and if used cleverly, there will be no curved horizon.

I'd advice you to choose base on the focal length instead of sharpness. See which focal length you would prefer first, it plays a more important role.

Your head...

yup, asked myself... yes it's fast

Simple advice, don't.

Not forgetting that stacking that many circular filters will definitely give some heavy vignetting.

And stacking polarisers well definitely give you odd color shifts.

You're better off with variable nd which gives about workable 9 stops. With an added square nd filter in front of it for further reduced stops. Then if you want IR cut, add another filter in front with caution as it could be too thick and cause vignette, which I generally don't recommend. By the way, most sensors already have IR filtering built into them inside the camera, so it's useless to add another one.

Stacking 2 polarisers (not to mention 3) will give you funky cross patterns similar to moiré. Same goes with stacking 2 VNDs.
