This is my favorite wine. It comes from Hungary. A couple of days ago was the 50th anniversary of the Soviet crackdown on Hungary. The world has changed a lot since then and, along with the many literal reflections in this photo, there's a lot here to reflect on in that regard. The background (of which the bokeh is only an element) sets the mood here for me. A dark, lifeless interior with the bright light of the outside world shining in. To me, that is a good description of life behind the curtain.

Clean sharp foreground but I am not sure if the background really adds anything to the image. It doesnt take away from it either though.
