Selective focus shots have to have the sharp area right up front where the eye goes to first. The eye does not want to have to go searching! My eye is moving around these shots trying to find the very small areas which have useful (sharp) information. Bokeh is a great thing from an expensive lens but I'll take flowers over bokeh of flowers any day. Or at least have the sharp area were we can easily find them. And if I have my tripod with me I'm sure as hell going to stop down. On 6/22/13 1:13 AM, "Geoff Hopkinson" <hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > Just for the exercise.
