Default Bokeh Bouquet

I was thinking about entering this weeks assignment, so I was playing around looking for some bokeh. These are some of what I came up with. Just wanted to share a few.

Great Job Mike, you got that Creamy Bokeh going in these. I like the last one most. Also the 3rd one with just the plant is very nice as well.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

I really like the last one, too. The lines in it are very pleasing. But the second and third ones are outstanding as well.

Nice Bokeh! For me it's a toss up between that last two. I really like them both a lot.

Hi Mike. You are a real master at these kinds of photos (and others of course)! I took a few similar in nature to these, but I do not think they are as nice. I will post them tomorrow. TFS.

Thanks, Michael and Martha. I kinda liked the last one the best, too.

Plants, leaves and insects make great subjects, add good light and shade, tight focus and a shallow DoF, and they make fanstic subjects. Five excellent examples with impressive earthy colours and tones, nicely done Nikki Sue and Mike
