This soft and delicate effect is obtained by focusing at your widest aperture with a tele lens, on a branch through a screen of leaves with another screen of leaves behind, and setting the focus so it is all out of focus, but only slightly out on the branch in the middle. If that makes sense? I'm sure someone will ask for clarification if its not!

Very nice. To me this has an Asian, painterly feel to it.

I agree, very nice. Love the colour. Perhaps a square crop would work too? Then have a group of three on canvas on the wall! Very artistic!
