story > sharp photo

Recently I've really been enjoying a softer, more dreamy or ethereal look to certain of my images - usually small wild flowers.  I get the look by shooting "through" a foreground object that semi blocks the subject.

You might have read about it last month.  Click here if you missed that post.

And just the other day while in my garden I spotted an opportunity to try the technique out on a fly hiding on a cosmos flower.  I figured it would make for a real story telling image; you know, fly hiding in cosmos!

Well I think it makes for a story anyway!
