The following shot would have been more '3D' if the floor was more in focus and more of his body. I think you really need to be able to decipher the background relative to the subject.
Pentax K-5 & DA*55 @ F/1.4
This shot is more '3D' IMO as the face is very sharp and you can still 'read' the background.
Pentax K-5 & DA*55 @ f/4
This shot is also '3D' but it is the middle ground that pops
Pentax K-5 & DA*55 @ f/4
Of course linear perspective and other visual elements placed in the scene that can be 'read' (and that are not defocused to non-existence) help define the space around the subject.
Disclaimer: These examples I've given may not be all that representative according to some people's definition but there's more to photography than 3D pop and subject isolation.
