When preparing the table in the backyard for dinner I noticed a good light with the sun hanging low. I grabbed my camera, put the 50mm prime lens on, and took this shot at maximum aperture f/1.8 and ISO 100. The bokeh is from the branches of our apple tree. The red in the glass is the reflection from the red sun umbrella hanging overhead. This is a crop of a photo I posted in the past.

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.

Does anyone else get fed up trying to think of a title for their images...?

Something about the ubiquitous Monarch that lends itself to colors and patterns. This one has landed on a zinnia, with a rich bokeh. enjoy.

Some additional center light via Nik ColorEfx, Luminosity blending via black and white layers and saturation slides. Bokeh is natural, nothing added.

“do you want me to tell you something really subversive? love is everything it's cracked up to be. that's why people are so cynical about it. it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. and the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”
