This is a closeup of the leaves in yesterday's photo. I tried using a large aperture to get some of the leaves in front in focus and the leaves in the background out of focus. I could not easily select the leaves in front or in back in Lightroom to make the unfocused portion a bit darker. If anyone has a good idea about how to do so, I would appreciate learning how to do it.
