Nice job of isolating in a tight space, Russ. Did you isolate with aperture and focus, or did you use a Depth of Field software tool such as Corel PSP, DOF control. Just curious, as it looks like Lens/aperture control, but if you did it with Corel or whoever, it's even harder to get it that perfect.
I was shooting on Shutter Priority in a confined space with the Canon EF 70-300 L lens and this shot was at 140mm. I was trying to get in as much back- ground repetition as possible and still maintain good foreground clarity. Other particulars are 1/800 sec, f4.5, ISO 400. Shot handheld in burst mode with a Canon 60D. I used the higher shutter speed because of a continuous breeze. These flowers really do sway.
