Nasturtium Play

Tired of the continued gray boring skies and disinteresting light, I decided to try my hand at aluminum foil bokeh. I'm perplexed re the blue- best I can guess is that the white balance is off but I like it and left it as is but maybe it is a reflection of something blue in the kitchen?
Thanks for your input re the pier shots. I was amused that the black and white got more votes but few favs and the color less votes and more favs! And thanks as always for your amazing support and kindness. You rock!
I like it too. Beautiful result. Like the reflection too.

@shepherdmanswife I placed slightly crumpled aluminum foil behind my nasturtium which was sitting on a mirror on my table. Lighting was from window to the left and overhead light

Gorgeous shot! I'm going to have to try this. It's really a stunning background to a beautiful flower. The contrast to the red and the reflection is fantastic. Fav.

I think this is a beautiful shot and I LOVE the bokeh. I'd like to see it slightly brighter/lighter overall.

Beautiful colours and bokeh

@falcon11 the exposure here tends to be darker than in LR or elements. I took your recommendation and increased exposure using picmonkey. what do you think?

Fun photo. Lots of color to enjoy. Approaching the bokeh overload limit for me, though.

@rvwalker I know what you mean! I was approaching the grey skies and rain limit!
