The ball, the flare and the bokeh - #1 in Explore

Best On Black

Am rather fond of this one!

Wasn't going to go out to the park today at lunch time but the sun popped out so I thought I should really. I went back to the fence where I shot a photo a few days ago and decided to try and catch a sun flare in the ball. Then I spotted a bit of bokeh action in the background so I decided I needed a flare, AND bokeh. I got lots of shots with one or the other but finally managed to find a position that resulted in both! Hurrah!

Did try a square crop but it chopped too much of the lovely bokeh, and too much of the sun on top of the fence, so changed my mind.
