I will forever think of the above photograph as "Talk to the Hand:; the clean simplicity of the deep green background is what really makes this image work - it is amazing how beautiful grass is when completely out of focus.

The same element is what make this image of a rose so pleasing to me - I am still new to macro photograph, and whenever possible make images at both extreme of the depth of field range...and almost always it seems, I prefer the image with the shallow depth of field.
