Flowers

This first photo was taken with a soft focus which means that one part of the image is in focus while the rest is slightly blurry.

Here is a red rose, also taken in soft focus.  The rose is in focus and the bougainvillea behind is slightly blurry.  Another element which brings focus to the rose is the contrast of bright to dark.  The light on the leaves near the rose are much more brightly lit than the leaves near the bougainvillea.  Our eyes are also drawn to bright colors.  The rose is in very vivid colors, but we are also drawn to look at the background because of the magenta colors of the bougainvillea.
