My First

There is always a first time. And even if they are small feats, I will cherish them forever. I am talking about having one of my photos chosen by the Toronto Star Camera Club to be part of their Photos of the Week gallery.

The moment I got the e-mail requesting permission to use my photo - I was in cloud 9. I immediately did what needed to be done. YEY and double YEY!

So, here is the photo and the short caption from Toronto Star's photographer.

This is a terrific composition that shows the benefit of a very selective focus. "If you choose to include too much in focus, the viewer gets confused about what to look at," says Toohey. Though the main bud is crystal clear, there are two other flowers hinted at in the out-of-focus background.

Ah, life's small pleasures.
