Since I had some positive responses, I'm posting another set of bokeh explorations. Captions are the lenses used--this seems to be a tradition among bokeh shooters, who are always on the lookout for lenses with interesting rendering characteristics.

Actually not sure which lens this was: an insect photobombs a shot of roses in front of a pine tree with the sun shining through the branches...

Excellent set, very interesting use of unusual lenses we don't normally see.

Ah--correction: that's an old Tamron, not Tokina, zoom
Some are pleasing, others are very distracting. All are interesting.

You have a style all of your own, it's very remarkable.
Keep it up, I'm always waiting to see what you will next!
I think they are all really interesting, and I love the bamboo image
Very intriguing !!! I love to see more . Thank you for sharing. Shang
Nice, I like the potter and the bamboo. I like all of them too
Wow! More beauties! I really like them all. Sometimes the light or spots of light in the bokeh is a part of the overall design/composition of the image. I don't find any of them distracting, but that's what pleases me, and all of these are pleasing!
Very interesting, fascinating images, Toby!
