A bit of soft bokeh. This shot from the restaurant in Musee d'Orsay in Paris on the south bank of the Seine looking across the city to Sacre Coeur on a hill top a few miles away. The target being the cathedral, the large clock window provides a soft framing with a diffuse silhouette of the diners and staff in the foreground.

Had fun with this as I found a new function on my phone camera. Telling on my photography skills that this is the best one. I like it though. Think it tells a story.

Lots of great entries this month making it so difficult to pick a top three but I went for the following based on how much I liked each one based on the subject and composition rather than are they technically brilliant etc.

Third place - velocemitch's whisky bottles.



Second place - burton_ii's field of red flowers.



And the winner for August is C&C with his blue lizard. I love the sharpness of the face relative to most of the rest of the picture.



Well done to everyone else who entered and good luck for September.

Ooo pleased to get third place, it’s the first time I’ve entered too.
Was just watching the TV program about the subject too,
SkyArts, Art of Architecture, Macallan Distillery.

Worth a visit if you are in Speyside.

Many thanks Neil - very much appreciated!

Also very pleased to see some excellent entries this month, and lots of them!
