Hi Stuart.
Unfortunately this exposure didn't work out so well, mostly due to overexposure. If you still have the RAW file, you may be able to salvage some, but not all of the important highlight detail in the image, unless you boosted exposure up a lot in post processing to get this JPEG. The centre is reasonably sharp, where it should be, but the composition is nothing special. THe background control is quite good, and the bokeh smooth and unintrusive.
The image could also do with some cooling down, particularly in the yellow channel.
