In order to focus closely on the stamens in these lovely spring Celandines, I have let the petals be blurred and out of focus. When taking close-up photos, you are constantly making decisions about which bits to keep in focus and which to blur. Even when you are using a tripod it’s hard to take a photo where everything is in focus at this distance. However, I think the blurring adds to the photo, directing your eye just where I wanted you to look …
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Blur.”

I agree… (about the blurring) really lovely! I’ll post some similar photo’s in a while, I’m afraid…

Beautifully shot- sometimes sacrificing the full focus makes for a more interesting image. Love these.
