1st Place
Spots of Light*
by MCsaba

This is actually a test shot with the Russian Tair-11A (2.8/135mm) lens that I found today on the street market for $25. The lens has a perfect circular apperture with 21 blades.

I'd say you have found a keeper in that lens, MCsaba. I like the soft star pattern and the almost perfect circular bokeh patterns. Really different and quite a stunning shot!
You are simply a magician with a camera!
