It is fun to play with the focal areas of a composition. Here the lovely white oleander is blurred as the plant's leaf and blue sky are the primary focal points - impacted both by sharpness and color saturation. What draws the eye? How does one manipulate the environment to get attention? Are there times when the obvious needs to be obscured and vice versa? Just some of the thoughts running through my mind as I often view my world through the lens. Melbourne, FL
