Thorns in a Bokeh Wonderland.

While out for my daily hike/walk at a local nature preserve, it was still early enough to catch the millions of dew drops on everything with the Sun still low in the sky.

Technical Information: [f/5.6, 1/250s, iso 400 @ 230mm], Cropped from Horizontal to Vertical. Basic Lightroom edits, nothing special (meaning no major edits). Nikon d5500, 70~300mm Kit Lens.

Love that single backlit thorn! Cool shot

Thank you for the kind words Michael! :)

Hey Joe. Nice bokeh indeed. I hope you wont mind a crop suggestion. That bright droplet dead center is too drawing to my eye and i miss the thorn. Even though this loses some of the awesome lower background, you might consider trying to get rid of some of the super bright droplets in order to make the thorn really pop. Just a suggestion!

;) PS - the resolution is too low to download and crop but you'll get the idea.

I don't mind at all, and I welcome the feedback! I see what your saying, hum... I wonder if a tilt-shift focus effect would help soften the light-hot-points a little. I'll look into this. Thanks :)
