I too thought it caught the spirit of many of Monet's garden paintings
from the poor vision period. As a nitpick, though, I doubt if Monet saw
OOF highlights with hard, brightish edges. I tried softening those
edges.

Bokeh is this series of images is an interesting thing. Some beautiful
and soft, some much too edgy for my taste. A factor of mixed focal
lengths and subject/background distances, I suppose.
I was lucky a couple of years ago to see an exhibit called Monet in
Normandy. Although I've seen quite a few of his paintings over the
years, this was the first showing a time longitudinal series of
paintings from the same areas. Quite interesting as his technique
matured over a time period where his vision changed.
