Piner: Joanie,
Thanks for the comment,
I can't expect you to understand the photographic arts since you do fractal art, but I can explain parts of it to you and hope you absorb some of what I pass on to you for future reference when viewing photos. Who knows, you may be the first to use a certain photographic effect in your fractal art.
Not every part of every photo is supposed to be totally in focus. It is called Depth of Field (DOF) or "Bokeh" and it is done on purpose for several reasons.
1) To make a photo more pleasing to the eye by isolating the subject of the image from the background/foreground.
2) It is often employed to accentuate the distance between two or more points in the image.
3) It can be used to leave an aspect of an image up to the viewer's imagination/interpretation by hinting that something is there without having it defined by the camera.
4) Sometimes it gives a photo a dreamy quality or heightens the mood of an image.
I hope that clears up why it was not as sharp as you think it should have been.
