Depth of Field
Using a shallow depth of field can sometimes make all the difference in the world between mediocrity and magnificent. Well, okay, that might be a little extreme. But in this shot, I used an f-stop of 2.8 and as a result the various depths of the flower have great separation by way of clarity. This allows for what I call a floating effect. The background is also blurred in degrees, giving you enough information and added interest without distracting your attention from the main focal point.
