  Ok, so last week we had sharp focus throughout, now the opposite! Selective focus, usually using a shallow depth of field, to isolate or define your subject.

    Beautiful image Michael. The focus is great. I the lines in the glass(?) and the swirls in its shadow add additional interest.

    Beautiful Micheal. Not only the focus but those wonderful warm golden tones make a very gratifying image.

      Yes it was. I kept inching closer while taking shots and apparently finally got close enough to catch his attention and he, or she, looked my way.

      Thanks Diane. You can buy egg casings online if you want some. 🙂 They’re great at pest control in your garden. But they’ll also pick off the occasional honey bee and butterfly as well so……….

    Nice Seth. The perspective and focus make the stars of the image, the daffodils, stand out clearly against a busy background.

  I got REALLY lucky with this amaryllis. I couldn’t see the screen to focus because I was pointed towards the sun.

        Not to me Dorothy, but I’m going to. I remember going to see the original movie with my father when I was little (I loved going to sci-fi movies with my father). For years I thought it was called “The woman eater”.

    Love the focus on your first one Leanne! It definitely has to be viewed larger to truly appreciate the details.

    I also love the first image David. It’s minimalistic but gives off a mighty sense of atmosphere and emotion.

    I like these pictures of flowers. This gives another view or even dimension to these “simple” flowers. Same remarks for Leanne’s beautiful work on this subject.

  Sitting here in the pub (beautiful) chatting with my friends around the world and waiting for the family to come home from the cinema. Saw this flower on the table and it reminded me of this challenge, which i’ve been shooting for with my new lense all weekend. This one will do it!

    Thank you Diane and Jasenka. 🙂 This tree is native to my area and can be found “out in the wild.” Although this particular one is growing next to the parking lot at the school where my wife works.

  Nice shot. A good example of the rule of odds. Beautifully colored flower. Bleeding heart is another “one of my wife’s favorites.” It’s a long list. We just bought two of the native species to include in our yet to be built butterfly garden.

  Now this is from a photo session i had for my neighbors, they agreed to be my test clients. At first they were hesitant but they were more than happy once they found out we could do the session outside and could incorporate their bike.
