Sunlit Leaves & Flowers Photographed

Whilst I was waiting patiently for some birds to appear in my garden for me to photograph, I noticed the light filtering through the leaves of the tree to my right creating a dappled effect on it's delicate white flowers, so seeing as though our flying friends weren't cooperating I turned my lens to photograph this tree and its flowers instead. Using a shallow depth of field and focusing on the flowers through the leaves in the foreground has giving a soft foreground of shape and colour whilst enhancing the bright white sunlit flowers behind. Had I used a smaller aperture and allowed the foreground to be in sharp focus too, it would have caused the image to be confusing and over cluttered with no real focal point. I like the 'jungle' feel of this shot, vivid greens and the overgrown enclosed atmosphere.
