Your best bokeh!

Bokeh makes shots pop from the picture and greatly increases their interestingness. Show off your best bokeh.

Neat concept for a thread theme. I don't know if this is my best bokeh, but this pic came to mind first.

This is an emu portrait from the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas.

I like the reflection of the heron in the water and its pose looking back, but I am not sure it is one with killer bokeh. It's simply a fine pic.

Great Shots !!
All GREAT Photos..

It's nice to be able to post one of my photos in such a group of great (not said lightly) of dedicated photographers (both ladies and gents) !!!

Sometimes I don't get a chance to reply/remark on all the great photos posted on the Nature & Wildlife forum but I am always amazed at the quality and beauty of the captures.. it gives one something to shoot towards and has given me some great insight for my shots (like not shutting my eyes before I push the shutter button, ) !!

Thanks everyone..

I like what has the bokeh has done to the water to make it appear to be a an oil painting. Certainly not the most out-of-focus background, but I feel as though the softening of the back ground has given it a more artistic feel. But your right its not the "best" example of bokeh.

I agree ALL awesome shots- Dangerously sharp green heron shot with excellent bokeh! J Wear incredible brokeh in that tern shot! Nice pic too..

I cant resist I have to add one more that I found in the files,

PrescottPhotog

Here is mine.

I dunno maybe this.


or this??


this??


this??


I give up .......I don't even know what that is

pathfinder

I have just a couple than might make the grade

70-200f2.8 IS L has nice bokeh


So does a Sigma 300-800


180mm Tamron macro lenses can give nice bokeh also



It is really hard to beat the 135f2 at f2.2 though

Oh.My.God. Gorgeous! I love the pose, the color, the detail and the great bokeh just focuses my attention where it should be, on the woodpecker!

Hi Everyone.. I just wanted to reiterate, GREAT SHOTS - ALL..
Man do they POP or what..

Al, Where was the picture of the bear taken.. They don't have those in Boise do they, . I need to get some pictures like that.

Dave, your first picture of the bird with the snow is great, he's even squinting.

I'm enjoying this thread a bunch !!

ChadinStPete
