As you suggest, it really works for this shot

I meant the lens really works for the other shot, of the rusty bed springs, unless you want to shake up viewer's nerves.

The purple background is different but I do like the photo, crisp and clean.

Great shot!

Thank you both.

I post the photos below thinking of Rupert. We've had our differences in the past, I remember I was quite harsh once when replying to one of his posts but then he bought supporter for me! He was such a character. Anyway, I promised myself that one day I will post some squirrels so here goes.

It's the kind of "bokeh" that might make some viewers re-apply their denture adhesive after looking at it too long.

No wonder it is claimed that "good" bokeh is subjective - I find that fence and barn in the back to give a very interesting background, one that provides a great layer for the focused subject to pop in the foreground.

More snow backed by bokeh. With luck, the last snow for this winter.

I'll accept "interesting" as a description for it. It even could be considered a puzzle--can you find the silhouetted donkey shape in the background, hiding in all of that horizontal and vertical cross-hatching?

If we want creamy bokeh, that enhances the main subject and the overall picture, without being distracting, however, well....this falls a bit short of that standard. Of course, this thread shows so many kinds of bokeh that it does challenge any strict set of rules of standards for what can be good bokeh. Maybe more people will like the bokeh in this one than I would expect!

You must have taken this in that fleeting lilac hour between the golden and blue hours ;-)
