About	Lazy focus and 1/3 EV up for getting the plant a bit painting-like. Only a partial success but it has something, doesn't it?

Thank you very much, Andre! I wish I had a soft focus lens to experiment with but a bit of "laziness" is achievable with a normal lens too.

As you already said it is the bottom half here that looks rather painting-like. The degree of "laziness" depends of course on the distance to the captured subject and thus the background got a bit more "lazy" than needed for that look. I think I should have taken less of the mounts and more of the near plants.

Have a nice day,

Nick

Hi Nick,
I think the "lazy focus" does work quite well with this one, especially in the bottom half of the image. A sort of Painter like quality as you said. I have seen people use similar techniques with still life studio shots to make the image look like a painting.

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Jan. It seems that the pair of complementary tones reddish-turquoiseish does its work well again.

Have a nice day,

Nick

Love the out-of-focus misty blue (subtle) contrasted to the colorful foreground foliage. very pleasing to the eye; I like this one, Nick.
--Best to you, Jan
