A few days ago I took a number of photographs of the same small clump of flowers, initially from the same angle, to share with you the effect of choosing the point of focus by selecting a different flower to focus on, and how that alters both the whole image and our mental response to it.

Moving on to Image Two, again macro-photograph of the stamen and anthers. I've changed the angle of image with the result that these two parts are separated from the yellow flower by the green that occurs deep within. Although the anthers are slightly out of focus, their placing on the top horizontal 'third' makes them very much the visual focus, with the stamen, completely in focus, sitting on almost dead centre.
