You are absolutly right Dyan.
I focused on the distant flowers so the
closed ones became blurred. #4114432

I've done similar things focusing mid-field...you get both foreground and background depth-of-field effects that way. A very short depth-of-field works best. I actually use a vintage manual-focus Helios 40-2 (M42 screw mount) on extension tubes to stress the depth-of-field. it is one of my favorite lenses.

There is also the possibility of shooting blurred and sharp images and combining them! #4115420
