This is a very beautiful shot. Now would someone please explain what Bokeh is? Remember us Newbies. I tried looking it up and got nothing.

Thank you all for your kind words! Here is the definition of bokeh!

Bokeh (derived from Japanese, a noun boke 暈け, meaning "blur" or "haze") is a photographic term referring to the æsthetic quality of point-of-light sources in an out-of-focus area of an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.[1] Essentially, bokeh is a qualitative measure of light distortion in the out-of-focus areas of an image, and is primarily caused by lens aberrations and aperture shape.

Hi, what a great little picture mikem, love the colour, tone and compostion.
Focus is extremely tight but you manage to just hang onto it around the lizard's head.
The background is excellent and fits perfectly, and well done for adding a description of bokeh for the other members, good job
