So I Googled abstract photography and it seems it's very macroish - you get so close you don't get to see the whole object
Have followed her advice to use a large apperture
@salza final offering for get-pushed. Thank you for your challenge, don't think camera's been on auto all week. Not sure I'm happy with composition- doesn't follow rule of thirds or phi thingy and it's sooc but it's not too displeasing.
I like the shallow dof and the colour in the background. I'm glad that you have enjoyed the challenge. Sometimes not following the rule of thirds is the best choice.
@homeschoolmom thank you @carole_sandford these were prematurely cut back due to him falling on them ( don't ask!) And they've sprouted vigorously and the tiniest of blooms!
