Green ferns...

The nature preserve had a small plot of ferns next to a small bridge. I wanted to use a shallow depth of field to blur the plot in the background.

Well done

The selective focus on that bit of fern is beautifully done.

[Daisy Miller]

Good selective focus.

Very nicely placed central focus and your goal of shallow depth of field was achieved.

[Carol McClelland]

Beautiful!! Is the pink in the background a flower?

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done.

[Pat]

Super focus and blur, such skills! Fav.

My frustration with my 60mm lens was exactly the shallow depth of field on close-ups when I wanted *more* DOF. I took a tripod to the greenhouse a couple times to slow the shutter and increase the f-stop. It was effective, but a lot of time-and-effort to use a tripod. You certainly got your shallow DOF! Good job.

Beautiful focus and detail

[Pat Knowles]

Fantastic focus! Love all that soft green!

[KV]

Nice focus.

[Jon Lip]

At f/2.5 you certainly get some background blur.
