Many thanks, Rod, Jano, RK, Brent and Paul. I can only agree that there is no pronounced subject here except maybe the table and the tree close to the table. But, it is not a strong focal point. Paul: no PS induced bokeh here. PS was used here to open up shadows, the dynamic range is very large here

Nice onee Alex. It has a magical feel to it. Wondering if there is some PS induced bokeh there.... :)

A beautiful shot indeed Alexeig, but it does leave me wanting for a more certain subject to focus on somehow. Hmmm.

I keep wanting to see some rumbling dark clouds in the sky - i think then the focal point would be on the lovely foreground. Nevertheless... a lovely shot. jano

Alex... the foreground seems a bit too busy. - RK

Many thanks, Rod, for comment. Here I totally agree with you, except the light itself there is no strong subject here

The light on the tree in the centre of the shot has a lovely light but with competition from other parts of the shot. Very nice shot though Alexei.
