Love and Flowers

These are my wedding rings and some flowers my husband brought home for me yesterday. I wanted the rings to be in focus with the flowers slightly blurred so that the rings would be the main focus but I didn't want to lose the spots that added so much neat contrast and texture to the flowers. I tried all different angles but I'm still not completely sold on this one. (It probably would have helped if I had cleaned my rings first right?) Any ideas?

I really like this idea- and I like how the pink pops. It looks like the focus fell on the flower in the back. I think if you'd gotten on your belly and had the ring in front of the flowers you'd have been able to make the rings stand out more.

That's actually exactly what I did- I just don't have a macro lens so it was kinda tough to get right.

I would have liked a little more light right on the rings so they stuck out more without taking away from the flowers. Flashlight, anyone?

Flashlight! That's a great idea. Thanks!

Love the idea of this picture. And I love the flashlight idea. You could keep everything in focus- keep the texture of the flowers- but put more attention on the rings.
