Focal Point

I wanted to create an image where the stem is in focus and the leave is somewhat out of focus but clearly identifiable.  I know my large format camera connected to my DSLR would be the right tool for the job. I was able to focus precisely on the stem and then I took a series of shots with changing f stops. At the end this shot (f8, 1/8sec., ISO 100) was my favorite.

In order to give the subject a more dramatic look I color selected the background, feathered the edge and inverted my selection.

Enjoy!
