No, I meant just what I said. If I take a photo of a flower close up, I
need to reduce the aperture to get all of the flower in focus. This means that
I will have more in-focus background clutter distracting attention from the
subject. By using a larger aperture at a greater distance with a telephoto
lens, I'll be putting more of the background clutter OOF and thereby improving
the attention to the subject.
