Ritva’s challenge is to pay attention to the background behind our subject.
I chose a few images from nature for this challenge. I used depth of field to blur the background to keep the focus on the main subject.
Many thanks to our host Ritva for this challenge Lens-Artists #304 – Behind

Suzanne, many thanks. I can’t identify the little yellow bird. He was hanging onto that branch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I think it was in the Africa section. I just love his colors. The hummingbird was in my yard.
