The depth of field is really neat. It always breaks rules to have something within the foreground blurry... but you pulled it off well. The color scheme is very warm too with the pink flowers and then that baby blue sky!

thank you. i have not worried about the technical side of photography so am unaware of the rules. i would fail a photography course with my under/over exposure anyway and shooting into the sun the way i do i would fail the first day.

well, with rules, you are allowed to break them in order to get the best image too... that's why you just shoot different angles/perspectives/etc.

down here??
I think you think I live in Mandurah hehehe.
Actually I live in Perth, which is quite sad really.
I'm going down there in a few days though, for a week to stay with a friend and catch up with old friends and Mikey.
So it should be good.
Thanks for asking.

I personally love the blur in front like that. It adds an interesting effect and mood :3 Makes me happy.

This is so pretty! The colours are perfect.
I just wish that the flower is the front wasn't so blurred.

lightandshadow In reply to dandi-lyon [2007-10-04 09:11:29 +0000 UTC]

thanks - but it was meant to be that way. i am really enjoying skinny focus on my images. giving lots of blur in the foreground and background.
thanks for your fave and comment i appreciate both.
