Very nice shot.

Heres a few i took today just after the rain.
I used my old Ross , London 6" f4.5 ( Triotar or Sonnar built under license by Ross, London most likely sometime before 1910. It has 15 or 18 blades. To dark here to count but plent enough to create creamy bokehs.
I have mounted it on a bellows and it works perfectly from infinity to Macro 1:2 and theres not problem adding an additional 50mm tube to get to 1:1 and that at a distance of 45cms from the glass to subject. Love taking pictures with this one.

One of the shots has a weird little ufo in it. No idea what it is but maybe you guys do?
All shots are straight from K-5 except sharpness after downscale.

Addiction to Bokeh is a serious illness.

it starts to worry me, because I look for old russian lenses with higher amounts of aperture blades

So far I got a Helios-44 58mm with 13 blades, a Meyer Orestregor 200mm with 15 blades and a Pentacon 300mm with 19 blades…

K 55mm @1.8

Do you think part of the flower being OOF makes the picture look better or worse? I'm really not sure at this point?

Better. Shallow depth of field is my favorite part of photography, so I like your photo as is. But, with such a lovely subject, I don't think you could go wrong either way.

Very nice image. I too like shallow DOFs. I like to let my imagination fill in the blanks/blurrs

Heres another one with less shallow dof but I like it.
Taken with my old Ross, London 6" f4.5 on m42 bellows.
