Normally I would crop closer, since I got good detail, but I'm in love with the bokeh from the sky and tree ;-) The Sweetgum seed pods seem especially numerous this year. Not making the dogs happy (they get stuck in their pads) but they look kinda' cool.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, a bit of dodge/burn, added border, resized, sharpened.

That background is really nice. Those are cute little birds for sure. Ever step on a sweet gum seed pod in bare feet ????????

I also like that you kept the whole branch in this shot to give the little guy a bit of environment. I agree that the bokeh is definitely nice.
