Orange flowers by the side of Sand Hill Rd.
The photo was taken with a bright sky behind the flowers to focus attention on the flowers by minimizing background clutter. A large aperture was used to reduce the depth of field to blur all flowers except the nearest one.

A small depth of field was used to blur the background and provide a sense of depth.
