I like this photo because it focuses on the flower and blades of grass, while the building and scenery is blurred. I like the strong vertical line drawn by the flower stem, though the background could have stronger lines and structure.

This photo is also a good representation of a low depth of field because only the object in the foreground is in focus.

This photo was taken by photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. He is a popular photographer because he is known for being the "father of photo-journalism." He was known for his ability to capture candid photos, which is part of his allure to being a good photo-journalist. He is also well known for capturing the essence of  "the streets," meaning he--in a sense-- "invented" the art of capturing real life within photography.
