Thank you all. Jano, I discovered how to do this while trying to get a DOF shot of flowers in a flowerbox. Open aperture all the way, set your focus, and zoom in. The blurry blues are lobelias that were very close to the lens. I really liked the effect it gave, and I'm going to try it again with some other subjects.

This looks like something Monet would have painted! I would definitely hang this on my wall!

Just lovely, Mary Anne! I love the background and the light through the petals. Very nice! ~Sharon

You captured that "dreamy" feeling Mary Anne! Can't figure out how to do that yet with the "blury" effect.... Maybe I just need more colors in the background? Lovely. jano

This is gorgeous Mary Anne with a fantastic light on the flower & one of the nicest backgrounds I've seen. Plus a true DOF shot from the G3. Great work
