Just my observation:
One more thought on your zuikoholics FB post - the Christmas tree lights in the
background are crisp, clearly defined, and hence will intrude on the foreground
in one way or another. They become a subject in themselves. Maybe why I like
the 100/2 shot as they are fully incorporated with the flowers. Then the
flowers OOF area adds to the surreal quality.
