Bokeh in Monotone with color DSC_2221

The theme this week for the group Smile on Saturday is Bokeh in Monotone.

 

I actually read the theme earlier in the week and somehow thought that the theme was spring flowers in monotone. So I set out to get that shot. I did get one I would have been happy to use.

 

However, I always like to double-check when I plan to post to a themed group. When I did, I learned that I misread the theme and it is actually Bokeh in monotone. I probably could have used the spring flower shot because it has some bokeh.

 

However, it has more blur than bokeh. So, I am going with this shot since it has more bokeh than blur. I love the examples given that show the difference between bokeh and blur. The explanation was on point as well.

 

I just want to give a shout-out to Maria for hosting this group. She does an excellent job. The rules are simple and clear. She always explains the theme and gives wonderful examples.

 

Themed groups such as this are a great way to get out of your comfort zone and try something different. It's always nice to learn something new.

 

I hope you smile bunches and bunches today and every day. Happy snapping.
