A hat’s throw away: The front flower was no more than two inches from my lens. I stopped down to f20 (smaller than I like to go) and focused on the back of the front flower. Even a 17mm and f20 you can see that the Rockies are slightly soft–but because the foreground flowers are so sharp, the background softness is really not a problem.
