Louis, Thanks for the explanation of Bokeh. I am thinking that the way to soften those cirlce would be to have the backgorund father away then. Is that correct?

I love the colors here and the feeling that it evokes. This is the best time to be at the beach. I think it is great that you chose a subject that most people would not, that of empty chairs.

Louis,
Thanks for the critique. In answer to your question I did not use a reflector. It was just a snapshot but I think I would like to see what a reflector could do for me. I was thinking the background would have been better just as grass but he was sitting on the steps of my front porch, and I was on the porch, so I could be above him. I think maybe I will try it with a ladder or something so we can achive the same effect without the concrete behind him. I have heard of bokeh but not enough to understand what you mean. I think I remember reading you want it to looks more like circles?
