Focus, the portion of a scene or thought that one concentrates upon.
Focus, on the foreground?
Focus, on the background?
Hyperfocal distance?
: : :
Deciding where to put the focus in an image changes the emphasis
and how a person’s eye is drawn into and around the subject.

Here, I’ve chosen to focus on the small branches of a tree
whose buds are beginning to swell with the promise of spring about to burst,
rather than upon the solarium of the Redelsheimer-Ostrander House.

The Redelsheimer-Ostrander House,
a Georgian Revival 26 room mansion build in 1910
by Seattle clothing scion Jules Redelsheimer on Lake Washington,
is a stately, classic home.
The likes of which I’ll only see on a tour,
if there were any.

I was pleased with the solarium’s bright white as a back drop
for the bare branches I chose for my subject.

Love this, we have had plenty of this weather around here :)
really pretty.
Wonderful focal point and so nicely photographed!
I like it A LOT. Very nice shot.
Very nice! One of my favorite things about using a SLR is playing with the DOF…it affects everything about the shot!
I’m liking the green….
Such a neat shot. I like to play around with the focus and see how it changes an image based upon where I focus. Pretty cool!
Good call, Madge. The image looks good this way.
Nice title for this shot.
The perfect backdrop for those mossy branches! Lends a bit of mystery! xx
There’s nothing wrong with your focus.
Lovely choice.
Lovely photography ~ beautiful!
