Sutter 1/160

Aperture 2.0

ISO 160

F l. 50mm

I think the image might be a little blurry even though I used a tri pod but i noticed that when i downloaded the image.

Not sure what you are asking about. The photo has no DOF, and as the subject is not sharp and lacks detail, the photo has nothing to keep the viewer's attention.

Thanks for looking at the image P. Rotzzi,

I guess is like you mention in your profile about me and your photography experience, "I just take pictures, some turn out good and some dont"

I was wondering what ppl thought about DOF, isolating the little flowers from the rest of the back ground. My aperture was 2.0 and mabe I over did it for this particular image or maybe not....

Cesar,

the resulting DOF would have been fine had you nailed the focus on the flower you were going for - compositionally you have to be a little careful aesthetically as to which one you focus on - they are all in a small tight bunch here, perhaps isolate a single flower by moving to a another angle or do as i do and carry a pair of scissors lol - (joking - not)

Painting is all about adding to the canvas / photography is about taking out the distractions :)

Thank you and sounds good Gary. Im going to try and use a spot focus and single one of them tiny flowers out and try to capture it nailing the focus right on. Im taking you serious on the scissors thing, lol, im j/k too.

Thanks again...
