Looks similar to the donuts I get when I use my old Nikor 500mm mirror lens. Also why I bought it and use it only for that effect.
BTW, very nice shot. If I may... I would change the type color so it's legible...

It appears to me that the pic was taken with a 500-800mm mirror lens with a fixed aperture of f8. The pic very much resembles what you would expect with a mirror lens.

No, it's not a mirror or there would be a dark hole in the
middle of each round highlight due to the front mirror
just behind the front glass element of the lens blocking
the middle. Literally "doughnuts'' as the gentleman above
said.

I'm all in favor of dame effects.

based on the differing answers to this question it would seem to my old eyes that very few people (who answered) actually see light.
Ok yes the lens is wide open but 1.4 - 2.8 - 3.5 - 4 makes very little difference in terms of capturing (not creating) this "effect." This "effect"
is simply the result of bright sunlight filtering through the trees which are in back of the subject. No rocket science - no photoshop - just paying attention.

Aside from needing to be far enough away from the background, the more open the aperture the better the bokeh. A 2 stop difference or greater would have a noticable impact on this effect.

I sill think it was done with a telephoto wide open. The gentleman above has the answer as it was all in the way the highlights presented themselves. They are simply way out of focus.

To me it looks more like a shorter lens . . like a 50mm, because a telephoto would compress the background and make the sun spots coming through the trees appear larger. The longer the lens, the larger those circles would appear. Just a thought . . .

If you're new with that 50mm 1.4 you may find it hard to not get the bokeh effect until you've played with it for a while. Yes you can get that same effect by being closer to the subject, just make sure there is a good distance between the subject and the background. Then open up you're aperture not necessarily all the way, adjust ISO, and make sure your shutter speed is fast enough to be hand held if that's what you are going to be doing. Play with different combinations until you get what you like. Hope to see some of you pics.........

I do believe you are right also. Good call.
