The ultimate Bokeh thread; pics please

I'd say yes. It also will pass.

Great framing. 👌
I'm sure I would have included more of the Tuk Tuk, resulting in an inferior picture.

^^ thank you Mike. Real beautiful flower photo, great color and very smooth and soothing ( bokeh ) background!

^ thank you Ricoh. When I took this I was fairly new to using manual lenses ( besides when I was young and into photography late 1970s, early 1980s ), a real Takumar fan and mostly using a 1.4/50mm Takumar on APS-C, effectively having 75mm.
This "limitation" turned out to be a good exercise and experience concerning composition.
When I took the Tuk Tuk there was sunset and I could not ignore the background.

Well, it was passé until you revived it. ;

Actually it was @maryland_fotos that ended the drought

The recent contributions are excellent compositions that don’t solely rely on bokeh, great work!

Bokeh photos make me somehow happy.
