I love photos of flowers where the flower is crisp and distinct and the background is blurry.
Called depth of field and achieved by low F numbers. The higher the F number, the more the whole landscape will be crisp (in focus)
I don't often remember to do this. Got lazy with the auto setting. Must correct that this year.

There are hundreds of tutorials on you tube!
For auto settings there is often found a portrait setting for this. Good for single flower shots where the flower (portrait) is in focus and the background is not.
