Marble Madness #5: Bokeh of Flowers
A marble shot from the backyard.
I think my favorite part is the upside down reflection of the plant behind the marble.
Like the previous shot in this series, this looks like a macro shot but was actually taken from about 2 feet away with a big zoom (141 mm in this case, 300mm in the previous case). That allowed me to shoot from angles I couldn't get otherwise because the barrel of the lens would get in the way. A polarizing filter helped intensify the colors and cut down on glare.
