Now here I can see that you purposely put things in the foreground and it works very well! Seeing glimpses of the water through the greenery is just delightful! ~Sharon

I have changed my mind on what constitutes bokeh. Previously I would have just been looking for round highlights in the background but now I consider how pleasing the blur looks, no matter where it is, and if it enhances the image. Thanks for the comment! CJ

Great! And it ties in with Victor's comments ("Dancer") as to bokeh also being an element of foreground composition. Nicely done! ~jnconradie
