Goes with the macro type flower situation. Wider coverage and it's going to pick-up this type of effect. I suppose if one wished to be "picky" the PS "Healing brush" could be employed and a quick hit on each and dull them done. Hardly worth the effort though!!!! Also it's a looser composition and space so the background is going to come up with this effect. Actually it's quite a normal flower photo with typical background areas showing soft light blobs... goes with the territory on any sort of wider shot! -) #2: Rhodo flowers. Different kind of photo. tight on flower with very little bkgd. ERGO: less chance of out of focus light blobs! Sure if one looks closely the OOF light reflections can be seen.. barely! No distraction here either. Actually if the viewer is paying attention to looking at the flower, the blobs are of no consequence. Good on you! ted
