Editor's Note: By using the shutter priority setting of her camera, Cathie allowed the camera to choose the aperture that would work best with the scene. This, along with her short lens and distance from the kids, helped bring more of the background into focus. Also, all of that green and yellow is broken up by the orange toy tractor, so that's just a lucky break.
