The theme for the August competition is:

"Bokeh"

I'm not after photos of any particular subject this month so you take take pictures of absolutely anything you like. I just want to see some good bokeh and some cool / interesting / arty pictures.

Good luck everyone.

Rules:
The photos taken must be your own work and can be taken at anytime, but please get out with your gear if you have time.
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for the following month and judges it at the end of the month.
Entries and discussion on this single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Some great entries so far.

I love a photo with some good bokeh so it's killing me not being allowed to enter this month so here are three from me to give those who haven't entered yet some inspiration....

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.
