Perhaps the bokeh is a little overwhelming........?
The photo shows (a bouquet of) wild aster flowers (Symphyotrichum lanceolatum) growing in a woodland against a background of soap bubble bokeh.
Very minimal post processing was done in PS Camera Raw.
A woodland, West Quebec, Canada.

Lens : Meyer Optik Görlitz Oreston 50mm f1.8 (early twin zebra; M42)

Testing Rodenstock Splendar 100mm f2.8 projection lens. This lens looks more promising for the bubble bokeh character - similar to trioplan/diaplan/pentacon av.
I bought this souvenir in Lulea (Sweden), 19 years ago.
I spent there 2 beautiful months, and I still remember the wonderful sunsets near midnight in June, even if I never saw a huge elk (or "moose", for North American people) like this one! ;-)
Have a nice Tuesday evening, dear friends.
P.S. Sorry for the wrong timestamp in the EXIF... I forgot to adjust the time on my camera.
Ingredients:
Trioplan 100/2.8 @2.8
10mm extension tube
Olympus EM10 Mark II
Manual settings, manual focus, available light (morning sun), handheld. No processing, only ACR developing. Hope, you enjoy!

Painted Trillium (Trillium undulatum) plants bloom early in Spring and are native to North East America. The flowers differ from the common White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) by their smaller size and characteristic red "painted" centres.
Painted Trilliums grow in woodland habitats usually in understorey shade in acidic soil.

A Diaplan 80mm f2.8 in action. I really love this baroque bokeh. Planning on making some photo’s with this weird lens.
“May the light of the morning sun, shine upon you. May the deepest and sweetest love always find you.” - Dr. Debasish Mridha (American physician, philosopher, poet-seer, and author).
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 25th of February is “monochromatic bubble bokeh”. The day the theme was announced, it was a beautiful sunny morning, and I had the French doors open onto my garden. All I had to do to meet the theme for this week was to take a few steps out onto my back terrace and there was the perfect shot: some new growth on one of the James Stirling Pittosporums bathed in the morning light. The gentle light was perfect to make lots of bubble bokeh in my background as it filtered through the leaves of the trees. The shot was very green in colour, so I originally made the monochrome green, but found the sepia gave it a warmer feel. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
For Smile on Saturday's #Flora SOOC theme
With thanks to Maria and the SOS team for encouraging me to post a SOOC image.
Generally, my images have quite a lot of post-processing going on. There's always at least a little tweak that I want to make, to composition, colour, removing distractions etc. I also use editing to draw attention to my subject, as well as enjoying making creative edits (playing with colour or blur etc). I don't think I've ever posted SOOC before.
But I've had a few conversations recently that made me think - do I need to? I'm definitely better at thinking about the image while I'm taking it - looking at the image, deleting those that don't work, adjusting the WB or the composition etc. Plus sitting down to edit is difficult for me at the moment, so 'going' SOOC would definitely be better for me.
Looking at the 5 or 6 images from my archive that I wondered about posting for this theme, I could probably post them as SOOC. But... with most I still see those little tweaks that I would prefer to make that would turn them from decent, interesting images into something closer to the vision I have for them.
This one: I'd turn down the saturation, tone the green a little, and sharpen, as well as focusing the light a little. But I haven't touched it - I promise!
(Sorry, I'm going to shut up soon. But...there were some interesting discussions around what constitutes straight-out-of-camera these days. True - we can choose different picture 'styles' in our camera, choose our aperture or shutter speed settings, choose our WB or even sharpness etc, so we are making conscious choices about the image we take when we take the picture. I think the skill of SOOC is to make these choices with the camera, rather than in the software after the event. I would include cropping with this - you choose your composition & crop when you take the picture, though I appreciate it is so tempting just to tweak slightly. Interesting to ponder this as a subject ...
Also, I note the issue of RAW - I shoot in RAW, and as this was an archive shot, I had to convert it to .jpg in software. Potentially, you could say this is influencing the image. But I think even when a camera is shooting in .jpg, it is making certain adjustments that you just can't avoid, unless you could post the raw image. So I see the RAW conversion to .jpg by my Canon software as akin to the RAW conversion to .jpg by my Canon camera. But always happy to be corrected by those who know far more than me.)
I found this small Christmas tree in the attic. I had forgotten it.
It is dusty and a bit ugly... but also an ugly Christmas tree can shine.
I wish you a Merry Christmas, my friends, even if this year has been really sad and ugly. But I believe that we will go out from this darkness very soon and that the spirit of Christmas will help us in having a positive hope about this.
Have a nice day!

Another bubble bokeh macro capture... a new toy is addictive, at least for me.

Winterberry is a species of Holly that is native to East North America and grows in wetlands. Winterberry is deciduous (loses its leaves in winter) unlike the common European Holly.
The bright red berries serve as a food source for birds in the winter months.
The photo shows Winterberries with ice droplets after freezing rain.
