Photo Challenge "For the Love of Bokeh" Feb 14-16

I am really enjoying everyone's bokeh today! As noted by others, the way the quality of bokeh is affected by lens choice (aperture setting, number of aperture blades, etc) and proximity of subject to background is quite interesting. If moved to do so, please include your setting and lens choice with your images. Thanks to all who have posted so far!

Thanks Haymaker. So true - even a somewhat ugly vulture is worth a second look.

In reference to the "City Scape" manually made bokeh posted on p.8 I did a couple things to it. Bokeh is very versatile #1 is 2 images, 4 layers. Then, I scrambled it for #2 (which if it weren't for Creativ Simon is something I likely would never have thought of doing)

Interesting pattern in the bokeh! Well done reflections with a hint (I think) of stained glass?
I went back and took another look - it's on the base - you really have a good eye!

"Bokeh"......Thanks for the opportunity to be able to use some of those blurred photos that we somehow saved, but may have thought about deleting! Bob

I would never claim to be an expert on this subject, but I think I get it right once in a while.

Love the flower girl with her brightness and color set against the darkness of the blurred suits. Excellent!
