Both of these shots were taken in Dubois. I took two shots of the exact same scene with reverse focus points. I used Aperture Priority to select a  small f/stop number so there would be a shallow depth of field. I first pointed the center of the frame on the rocks in the background and held the shutter halfway. Then I re-framed the shot and finished pressing the shutter. I did the same for the second shot, only first focused on the brick directly in front of the camera and then re-framed the shot. I adjusted saturation slightly in both photos and burned the borders.
