Description
That's how many of them it has! The flower, not the mountain (Storžič again), which is just an out-of-focus backdrop.It would be interesting to see a mountain shaped like a flower though. I bet that somewhere in the world it exists, and it maybe even has five petals. Too bad I'm too sleepy to Google it right now.

Thank you!
I just toyed a bit with shooting "macro" with a bit of zoom which - I found out by "trial and error" - narrows the "width" (or angle) at which you capture the background, though you can't go to extremes with that... (it's actually quite logicall that it happens, though I never thought about it) it also (at least seemingly) reduces the "focus depth" - or in other words - the camera can then focus only on objects which are at a certain distance from it (which is actually always the case, and is especially noticable if you're shooting something that's really near your camera - or "macro").
By the way - the same thing happens with your eyes. If you stick your finger in the air a few inches from your face, and "focus" your eyes on it, everything else farther away will be blurred (and double... which you can avoid by closing one eye). Then you can keep your finger there and "focus" on something in the background. Then the background will be sharp and the finger blurred. In any case - you can't make them both sharp.

So intelligent! One of my favorite things about photography is messing with and being creative with the focus like you said. I actually read somewhere that we technically have "x-ray vision" if you put your finger in front of your eye and look at something in the distance your actually looking through your finger.

It is indeed fun to try different things out and see what works! I totally agree.
In fact (but only if you focus on something in the distance with both of your eyes) you can seemingly look through your finger (well - it still blocks the light from reaching your eyes) but as it being closer it obstructs a different part of the "background" image and when your brain combines the images from both eyes, the finger doesn't align, so you see two of them and both of them are semi-transparent.

huh I can't say I knew that very technical indeed
