 Out at "my" wetlands park. I've always loved how the cattails look on late fall afternoons when the sun lights them up. A bit windy that day so the fluffy seeds were blowing every which way.

PP - flipped upright, cropped, increased contrast and saturation, levels on green to make it redder, color balance shift oranger, resized, sharpened, added border.

Lots of fun bokeh and glowing cattail fuzz, I like it.

Shot meets challenge and the BL caught in the hair is nice as is the bokeh. It seems a bit OOF to me.

Just needed a bit more focus but it meets the challenge. :)

A good shot for Contre-Jour, although it appears a little soft.
