That said, both the bicyclist and the bear were in focus, but the ground at the same distance from the camera as the bear was out of focus, the yellow line just behind the bear is well out of focus compared to the good focus of the bear claws. Photographers call the range that is in good focus the depth of field. I think it would have looked less manipulated if the bear was less in focus.
