After comparing the pictures that I took with the focus on the phone camera and then the ones edited with focos, what really stood out was the way that the app worked to forcefully blur out certain elements within the pictures. I think it works well throughout these three pictures, but I do think it looks the most natural on the first picture with the bottle. For the other two it looks a little too distorted, but I guess that if your main focus is only the flowers as opposed to everything else behind it, it gets the job done.

For this lab exercise I originally intended to use larger items like boots and or sneakers to show off depth of field, but found that the concept was much more visible when applied to smaller concepts like these mini cereal boxes. Using the touch focus on each cereal box and watching it gradually push the other out of focus showed the concept being demonstrated; and it proved that the distance between the objects being shot is what really makes or beaks what the main focus of the picture is.
