Unsung Heroes - #2



I was thinking of a theme to picture a bouquet of flowers. The subject matter of "Unsung Heroes" crossed my mind. Hence tried to shoot with the focus on the small white flowers in the lot rather than the bright, eye-catchy ones. These white ones (see, I dont even know their name!) are there silently adding contrast to the whole bunch to make the "stars" look more prettier and grab more attention than they already have. First one was with 200mm and next 55mm (both with very small DOF possible in my lens). A still shallower DOF at 200mm would have made my point more clear. To enhance effect in the 55mm shot (second one), I had to post process using "Focal B&W" to get the attention to the focussed white ones.
