 This is the fruit of a Japanese Snowbell tree in my backyard, with my neighbor's glorious Maple in the background in late afternoon. I just adore the bokeh!

PP - cropped, cloned out some leaves, blurred a fruit and cloned a bit of branch in front of it, slightly blurred another fruit and a couple of leaves, dodged primary fruit and some of the leaves on its branch, shifted cyans to green-yellow, increased saturation and contrast, resized, sharpened, blurred background a little more, added border.

The texture of the background is amazing. The image wouldn't be as interesting without it. Lovely colors.

I love the bokeh in this! Not sure it's the best for the topic, since my attention is on the limb... but it's beautiful. And... I'm not voting anyway. :)
