С&C please

Not for me. Makes me want to squint or get my glasses to get the image in focus, too much work.

I think dark, out of focus, blurry image aids to melancholic mood. Also I think this photo is good as desktop wallpaper. Am I wrong?

It also makes me want to squint. Not a fan.

Strangely, my eye keeps getting drawn towards the background stuff on the left side of the photo. You know why? Because the edges of the out-of-focus points of light are brighter than, and almost sharper than, the subject (the flowers). You see what I'm saying? There's more definition on that side of the photo than there is in the flowers.

What camera and lens did you use for this shot? What were your settings? I think that maybe there's a way to do what you're trying to do, but I'm not sure you did it. ;-)

Yes, I understand, thx for reply.
But now I'm confused what type of background will fit in such photo. Sky is too bright, trees/grass too flat...

P.S. I have Canon PS A420, not much settings here

The flower in focus is too far to the right imo.
