I know this sounds crazy and common but does your camera have any smudges on it? I have found when the iPhone camera has smudges on it, the pictures come out blurry.
Yes they are supposed to be blurry, but not Monet-paintings-kinda-blurry.
If we are talking shallow depth of field, that's correct. I was curious about the smudge issue, because we've seen something a bit different - the subject in the foreground looking hazy and faded.
Apple has changed the processing of the images to make it less noisy but more more smudgy. I think I preferred it the other way around.
that's funny. I took a few pics of a praying mantis today also. My background is just as bad.View attachment 497096
Unless it is in very bright light, everything always looks smudgy. I took about 5 photos of this praying mantis and none of them came out very well. I can never get them to look that sharp.
The background looks like a bad Monet painting.

This is with Auto HDR and Auto flash (which it didn't flash but it did apply HDR). I've tried HDR vs. non-HDR and haven't seen much difference.

That is a beautiful image imho. What's wrong with it?
I too notice the inconsistency. The first time Ive noticed this was during a group photo at my house party. We had planty of lighting. The photo came out great, however when I zoomed in everybody looks like they were painted. Very weird.

I don't know. Somehow these image just don't look sharp enough? Maybe?

Is that upside down?
