  Since you say your images are flat in regard to DOF I'm guessing you mean you are finding it difficult to get short DOF. If you only shoot digital you are in a tough situation. Digital cameras, since their recording devices are smaller than 35mm frames, have inherently large DOF. The only way to overcome this is to buy faster lenses (f2.8 or faster) and shoot wide open. The closer your subject the shorter your apparent DOF will be as well.
