Smartphone vs DSLM

Smartphone vs digital Kamera (DSLM). The video is filmed with a smartphone. Two pictures are taken with a DSLM and one with Smartphone. Which one do you like most?

I must admit I like DSLMs. You can also take nice pictures with Smartphones, but it gives you less options (no aperture?). Especially in this case as you can see in the picture both DSLM pictures were shot with wide open aperture at F/2.8 which completely blurs out the background. This separates the flower from the background quite nicely so that you do not get distracted by the other elements.

The focal length of 200mm helps to choose a small rectangle of the background area you want to have in the picture. This allows you to choose exactly the background colors you prefer.

I started taking some pictures at F/2.8 and got some nice bokeh by the sunlight in the back. Then I wanted to add more sharpness and started a focus stack, but the sun did hide behind the clouds. So I have one image with beautiful bokeh and another with super sharp flower.
