I had the idea to limit DoF as far as I could here and see what comes out. I think now that this was a mistake. Anyway, I'd be glad to read any comments.
Right to the heart of the matter, Andre! You know, the butterfly left before I pressed the shutter, and it was cold and I couldn't wait for another butterfly because the birds were singing too loud and because my mommy called me in for supper... and similar things. ;-) When I was new here in UF such "explanations" made me angry. Now I can laugh with them from the bottom of my heart. Some kind of satiric potential behind them, ey? ;-)
Seriously now. You are absolutely right, the idea was itself wrong. I have seen some images of leaves or flowers etc. on which only just an edge or some tiny part was in focus and they worked very well. So I tried to do something similar but this is definitely not OK here. There is too much out of focus and in a disturbing way. This is why I posted this one too, for getting some confirmation of what I thought about it, namely that it fails to produce some interest for the narrow focal point.
So the question is what was different on those images I saw? I must keep on studying them and trying over and over again. But I'll get that!!! It's only a matter of time. (Some few centuries, I guess.)
Thanks a lot for the comment again! It is exactly such comments that give some orientation points in the dense jungle we call photography.
I think you are right Nick. If there is not any real point of any interest in such a small in focus area, there really isn't much to say about it. Most people will see it as just an out of focus image. Now, if there were a small colourful, in focus bug on the end of that in focus area on the leaf, that might be a different story. You could always tell every one that the beautiful butterfly just flew away :) Andre
