For this week’s Beyond Beyond assignment, we were challenged to take a series of photos with a shallow depth of field, focusing on different parts of the scene. We were then to choose our favorites to post. I chose my gerbera daisies, which are fading fast, for this assignment. Invariably, my favorites had the pink flower in front in focus, although I took quite a few focusing on the rear flowers or teapot. So here are the three I like best.
I took these three shots using the light from my bedroom window. If you look closely at the bottom photo, you can see a reflection of me sitting on the bed!

this is really sweet…i like the teapot as a vase 🙂
When I look at your pictures they just cheer me up.
Really such a lovely layout and beautifully displayed
