Hi Mushtaq,
This is really a lesson from your behalf with regards to lighting and shallow focusing in photography.
Here you produced an excellent example of how to use available light (from which ever direction it's coming) and focusing on the proper subject.
A very expert presentation of this plant in perfect sharpness and a lovely bokeh BG to render it in a 3D effect (completely isolated from the BG.
A successful effort with all the merits of a professional photographer.
Well done for the neatness.
My best regards,

Francis Xavier

Hello Mushtaq,
Very beautiful and well placed in the frame. The OOF one in the BG enhances the image of the one in the FG. Very well done.

Hello Mushtaq,

You intention worked well.
The f/g plant is sharp and, as you intended, the rear flower seems to present a blurred mirror image. The light is good, helping to reveal the fluffy textures of the seed parachutes.
IMHO your shot would be even better with a crop from the left, giving more attention to the two images.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Salaam Mushtaq,

The old memories, now something will change as the ideas develop so now you'll not make just one shot but by 5~7 shots you can get a better result that HOW? you do the same in verious aperute and starting from f/2.8 and one wards, naturally this will give at f/8 and shutter speed of 1/125sec a better result as on the next phase you have the option to increase the ISO that 640 will give a nice result with much DOF. About the shot it is well focused in shallow depth bring the nice bokeh as the colours are much charming, TFS.
Regards.

Musa.

Hi Mushtaq,
Great work on the selective focussing and the shallow DOF. The composition with the great negative space is perfect and created a very high quality photo. I really like that you have a similar shape in the BG.
TFS,

I don't know the name either but is a very common flower, cool how the pistils fly when blowing on it...

Great effect and nice bokeh, I like the overall darkness and the great sharpness on the subject.

A very beautiful picture. I like to have more expressiveness, a good choice and also POV brightness, color and ... inspiration ... A picture worth a maximum of punncte, but my overall assessment.
Congratulations!
Best regards

dear Mushtaq,
this space feeling is wonderful as your previous shot,
yes in this scene fore focused plant and back blurred one are well contrasted and composed to make fine effect of depth,
a little tilt figures show us tender and lovely ambience beautifully in this light condition,
thank you for your excellent shot,

Salaam Mushtaq!
I must say Woww.. !! This composition is a maravel! The image is perfectly clear and I love the splendid light, which illuminates this nice, original flower in excellent way. The subject is placed in the photo very well and stands out against the splendid blurred BG with great contrast.
I agree with you about the effect of the second plant.
Very well done my friend: congratulations.
Have a nice W/E.
Ciao! Vanda

Salam Mushtaq.Agree this is a shallow focusing lesson. A lovely close up these wild beautiful flowers with texture, soft colors, great DOF and the cropping makes this composition sing. Good sharpness and exposure. Cheers
