DOP (or depth of field) is basically how far into a picture you can see clearly.
This is done with a simple adjustment of the camera lens, but the impact it has on a photo is a lot.
Take a look at this picture:
In reality, it's just a photo of a bench, but the emphasis is put on the swirl of the handle.
This is because that is at the front of the image, and that's what's in focus, everything else (like the end of the bench and the background) is blurred.
Look at the difference between these two pictures:
They are both as big, both have a pretty flower, but the one with the pink flowers looks so much better and more professional. If whoever took the picture of the yellow flower would have played with the depth of field a bit, the photo would have turned out just as amazing as the other one.
