Hello, thank you for your remark!

The out-of-focus part (bokeh) establishes the background which thus provides the contrast to let the crocus shine.

Only in the digital-camera world everything is sharp. with the equipment used, i.e. velvia 135 (50asa) film more DOF would have been impossible. I admit having missed the crocus bottom which would have added more foreground. (The circumstances didn't allow it.) I also admit, that the colour saturation auto-correct is a bit too strong.

Best regards, g.
