“ Isolated focus on bud, using Aperture F 1.4 ”

My 50 mm lens is my fastest lens at F 1.4
Focus at that aperture is troublesome at best, but a slight wind added to the challenge.
Shutter speed 2000 to help nail the shot.
F 1.4 for maximum Blur in BG and FG

I really like this, the mixture of movements and still work very nicely. The colours are beautiful.

I admire you for undertaking this challenging photograph. The image is appealing despite the blur but I keep wanting the wind to die down.

I like the blur mixed with the sharpness. It conveys wind and movement.

I'm glad to see you don't always insist on tack sharp front to back?… more

I like the sharp focus on a few of the buds, especially on the one just opening. The two highlight in the back do draw my eye away, though; perhaps the hue could be muted?
