the term has appeared since 2000 in photo books
crazy, it is such a young term!!!
but the way that wiki describes it, it doesnt seem to explain as to why there is a halo around colin's petals. It only seems to suggest that the "fuzzy" background is for aesthetic reasons, to bring focus to your subject.
So.. based on wiki's description, I don't agree with Senna :P
