Dang it! Another 4th. I just cant quite seem to reach that yellow ribbon. Oh well.
Just a couple of acorns in our oak tree out front. Took maybe 8 shots, picked one, edited for 5 minutes maybe and submitted. Not really a whole lot to tell.

Congrats on the high placement, and better yet, congrats on a beautiful image. I couldn't make it through the challenge entries (i quit after about 30% due to excessive blur to the eyes) but this is really outstanding.
Beautiful, I love this one. Reminds me a bit of an image in one of Freeman Patterson's books. A couple things that come to mind: Did you use a polarizer? (in situations like this it helps, to reduce glare); The in focus area is so centred! The image might be more effective if the in focus area were placed a bit more on one of the thirds (in this case, towards the bottom left I think -- the big leaf out of focus at the bottom is a bit much, and could easily be cut down).

Great shot, I think a great bokeh shot works great with a good vivid colour as you illustrate here. My only thought would be to reposition the acorns, they seem a little static being so close to the middle.
nice and creamy bokeh, good colors and nice composition. only thing distracting is the cyan sky color, its a bit too bright. sharpness could be better.
