When people ask "how did you take that?" My standard answer is: " I had my camera with me".
I've been interested in aging transformations and one of the best and easiest to view over a short time frame is that of flowers. I watched this rose transform and mature.
After I shot it (at least 2 dozen times) and chose this one to work on, I noted how the depth of field forced my focus to change because of the multiple areas of sharpness broken up by a soft blur.
