When I hear the word “soft” in photography terms, right away my mind goes to a beautiful bokeh background. This week’s challenge from Ann Christine is on things soft. She gave many examples on how we can interpret this challenge, but I’ll stick with the pleasing muted backgrounds.
Flowers with a bokeh background was the first type of shooting I wanted to learn when I started photography.
But then I started thinking that animals can also have a bokeh background too.
Let’s see what else I can find.
Leaves 
Insects 
Water 
Sculpture 
Goose 
Mushroom
There are some very small daffodils outside my front door. If it wasn’t so windy, I’d go out and shoot them for inclusion in this post. Thank you Ann Christine!
Anne I meant
What?
This one was definitely right up your alley Anne – and you responded beautifully. I loved your beautiful bokeh backgrounds, really lovely.
Thanks Tina! Sometimes, I think I should stretch myself, but then I’m so comfortable here in bokehville.
I think these photos are delightful. The bokeh is a perfect response to “soft”.
Thanks Anne!
Such beautiful photos! I love a bokeh effect but I’m not sure I could find so many great examples in my own archive – you really excel at this 🙂
Thank you Sarah!
So soft and incredibly beautiful! I love the mixed colors and feathers. Great selections, Anne!
Thank you Amy! I’m glad you enjoyed them.
Beautiful. I like them all, love the water. X-T3 is ecs-ta-sy. Well done.
Thanks John!
Lovely examples of bokeh, Anne 🙂 🙂
Thank you Jo!
That water image is particularly gorgeous, Anne.
Thank you Tracy! It was a small fountain.
