60% of people asked say the out-of-focus area adds to the overall photo. 30% say it detracts. 5% have no opinion either way. 5% hate flower photos. I look at the photo and love how sharp the flower is. The background bokeh seems a little harsh, but at the same time it doesn't bother me that much. This was shot in 2006 with a cheapass Sigma 28-80 macro zoom lens on my old *istD. What do you think? I wonder if it would benefit from digitally softening up the bokeh. John ============ It's sort of interesting, actually. But if your main focus is the flower, yes, I agree, softening up a tad would help. I guess, my best answer is, if it were mine, I would.
