Gene and all,

Good point. The only thing is when I stopped down to get the subject all in
focus, the out of focus azaleas were not as smooth as at F2, like in the
case of the fern. I wish the background azalea were further away from the
subject which might work better.

I took this a few weeks back when the tulips were about to bloom. I stopped
down to f4. I thought the shiny leave behind the red tulip would be a
distraction though. What do you think?

Joe L.

Joe,

The whole Azelia series, needs more DOF for my taste.  The fern is nice, but
for the rest you needed to stop down a bit more to define the subject and
possibly then the backgrounds OOF would make it all work better.
