Curious, Moose,
But i find the way the trees are blurred very interesting.
They remind me of some Chinese Ideograms, and do marry very well with
the grass in the foreground.
I like less the upper background on the upper right of the image.
All that said, a very nice shot, I like it very much.
I'm too very conceived about bokeh.
Have You had occasion to use the 55 1/2?
How does it perform when it comes to bokeh?
