Description
Focus test using XDOF.

Selective focus in camera photography is simply another application of depth of field. It uses the same principles and techniques as zone focusing for camera photography, but its objectives are different. With zone focusing a photographer is usually striving for as much depth of field as possible in keeping with the subject and lighting conditions. The aim is to avoid unnecessary focusing. However, with selective focus the goal is not to eliminate focusing, but to compress depth of field to a point where the subject will stand out sharply against a soft background. This is to control depth of field of photography in order to make the subjects stand out.

A situation calling for selective focus might be one in which you are taking an outdoors portrait of someone. No matter where you place your subject, the background is harsh, full of detail and distracting. You want your subject to be clear and sharp, but the background would be far less disturbing if it were somewhat out of focus.
