    I really like this one. Great colors and just enough to focus on.

    really nice!!! :) i love the upper part of your photo. but i found the lower part is not as cool as the upper one. i wish the 2 centered bulb got more DOF and there were not the yellow color on the dark background. :(

    Something very appealing in this shot, even if there is barely two small light in focus !!!

    I really like th eidea here and enjoyed what you wrote with it...
    That being said i feel that the point of focus or atleast where i get drawn onto is the center lights which are lacking strength. if the color was strongeer or in better focus it would hold my attention better. As it is maybe crop out the front right a bit...
    as always thank you fro your great comments in the group.

    @goinonbro: Thank you for the great feedback. I completely agree with what you've said. Those are the weak points I completely saw with this photo as well. The crop is a great suggestion, I'll see what I can do. Thanks again.

    Lovely image, and thanks for the beautiful Toni Morrison quote as well.

    I think what drew me in to this picture was that it is only the small Christmas lights in the center (the only point of focus) that establishes the scale here -- that makes it almost like an optical illusion, in that I keep thinking the image is of something much bigger (like train tracks with lights) but then seeing the lights and 'remembering' that this is all quite small. I'm not sure my description makes sense, but its what makes it an intriguing photo for me.

    @voxipsa: Thanks for the nice description and insight into your interest. You made clear sense as we all do when we speak our mind and feeling directly. Thanks for sharing.

    great angle!

  22. Tropewell (63 months ago | reply)

    Oh man is this ever cool. LOVE the DoF and the bokeh. I found I had to click on the small image in the tag search just to see what this image was all about. This type of picture is why I'm liking my 50mm f/1.8 lens more and more everyday.

    Great use of dof

  24. sympha (62 months ago | reply)

    Yay! I like the diagonal composition, and, of course, the bokeh (isn't the 50mm/f1.8 great?).

  25. davidteter (62 months ago | reply)

    I love the bokeh! Please consider adding your photograph to the bokeh whores group. This is a group that encourages shooting "nontraditional bokeh" and has fun weekly challenges. Thanks!
