 Thanks everyone for the comments, Im happy that others liked this.

I am pretty happy with this photo. Its just a view from outside my window, something I see every night, I have taken hundreds of shots at different ties and different ways, and this, for me, captures the way I usually feel when looking out the window

I can't believe this lovely image did so poorly. I guess it's becfause the bokeh is round, not starry :-(

Not sure they look like the normal image of stars, but maybe more realistic. This may have fit the Bokeh challenge better. Nevertheless I do like the consistent light circles. Very interesting.

While it's an interesting idea neither the foreground or background are in focus, the circles of light which I assume are Christmas lights actually look a little like a bacteria sample under a microscope.

I think this could have been better if something was in focus.

Could have been in this week's bokeh challenge. Personally, I would have liked at least something to be in focus.
