 These are simply some decorative sticks in a vase and so are the circular ones in the background. Taken with a 55mm lens at f/5.6 against a cream coloured wall in the background inside my house. A flash was used to colour in the sticks in the foreground. Shot in RAW. WB, exposure, shadows, contrast, curves all adjusted in Camera RAW and Smart Sharpen in PS.

Creative...very nice. Great bokeh, color, focus and composition here. Lighting might be a bit harsh on two of the front whatever they are...but still very nice.

Not a bad shot but I donĂ¢€™t see the bokeh effect, the blur background should have circular patterns to it.

Now this is almost abstract...I like it.

This is an abstract to me - but the colours are very pleasant. I thought the red rods were incense sticks at first and the swirls in the back ground was smoke. Whatever, it does make a slightly exotic abstract. 7.

Interesting subject and a very nice bokeh. a Clean cut on the bamboo in the left would have been less distractive...:)

Interesting, but it looks more like shadows are being created for your backdrop rather than bokeh.

I like the abstract-ness of this!

The "Bokeh" works well in this image...
