Selective Focus



The technique used in this image is a shoot through. It's where you shoot through your foreground and use a selective focus to highlight your subject. It's very well known and used by many of the top flower photographers. I love how it softly frames the main subject drawing attention to the sharp part of the image.

Looking for some tip on places to photograph, then Sign-up for my “Image of the Week” and see where I have visited lately…
