Feeling left out?

There are several pretty flowers from one single tiny stem. Though they are relatively  small (roughly the size of a 5 cent coin), they are noticeable at a distance , probably due to its rich color and cluster. When the wind blows, they sway from side to side, bending slightly but remain steady and firm for at least a week. Then they fade away and new ones appear! What an awesome sight! 
The picture shows that only one flower stands out. The rest, though equally pretty and gorgeous, are out of focus! Similarly, in a crowd, usually one or two will stand out.  It could be the charisma of  the person, his/her social demeanor, clothing, hairdo, makeup, social status etc...  How do you feel about being in the limelight or being out of focus?  Are you usually sensitive towards those who may have a 'left out' feeling (that they might feel as being unimportant)  in a  group/team?
