I hope it's popular with great ideas and executions and not necessarily just a bokeh fest

Ok, new rule, all images must consist of at least 10% non-bokeh by weight.

what kind of weight: metric or imperial?

I guess this is probably a better example (along with the "planet" above) than my initial posts for showing "abstract" in the general sense of being lifted out of enough mundane context to be seen in not-the-usual way...

Oh great....another thread I need to subscribe contribute to. Thanks a lot junkyardsparkle.

FTFY.

So many fun slices of shape and color around us all the time... you wouldn't want all those pictures to be homeless, would you? 10 months later, I don't even remember exactly what this one was... which means now I can see it exactly the way I wanted to...
