I don't know if you did it on purpose but the effect of the four images that gradually enlarge the focus is great...:)

Ha! Well, I can try to come across as a wise guy by claiming that I did this on purpose, but that's not the case! At least, not consciously. I did want to include the last pic with the leaves on the water, because all the attention goes to the flowers, while these leaves have their own floating beauty.
Both my camera and my technical photography skills are quite limited (I hope to compensate that with an artistic eye / eye for beauty), but I am experimenting with the optical zoom right now. I spoil a lot of pictures by trying to zoom in too close or by keeping too much of a distance, but the good thing is that it is so easy to make another pic instantly nowadays!
Thanks for pointing out that this zoom-out effect adds something to this post. It's something to be more aware of, because you can play with this idea. Cheers.
