That is stunning my friend. Okay I'm gonna ask it because I don't know Bokeh? Is that the flower? It is beautiful my friend :) Happy Saturday :)

Carletta said...

Thom, you have so much to learn. ;)
It's the background. The flower is a geranium.

MWAH!!! Thank you. You don't know how much I have to learn and it's a long long long slow slow slow process LOL I never knew photography was so hard. LOL But I try and see I learned something new today. What that and the name of the flower is :) Mahalo my friend :)

Hiya,
Bokeh is supposed to be bad. I think you elevated it to an art form.
Superb when enlarged.

Beautiful geranium -- and I'm very glad Thom asked the question he did because now I don't have to admit my ignorance. (Ooops -- me and my big mouth!)...

Yep, that's what they are!! And isn't it funny, when we pay more attention to the background than to the subject? LOL!

It's a lovely picture, though, and the flower itself looks fragile and dainty like that.
