Unfortunately both previous threads were infected by flames..
Let's hope this one can stay clean

Amazing shot, I don't have much to say.

But why are these threads getting closed?

I love the spiderweb. Marie you have to teach me how to photograph like this.

Beautiful shot!
The bokeh is really amazing because it looks more like an oil painting

Thanks everyone!!
But please post a picture too!!!!!

8/10 because of lovely bokeh



I'm sorry I don't have any more photos but I haven't had a chance to upload them all and I wanted to keep this thread going

That picture is awesome; you really need to get into post editing to improve your photos.

Not liking it 5/10.

may I ask why?

Bad composition in my opinion, didn't want to sound rude before
