Flames Turn Snow Flakes Gold

I can hardly believe you took three of my shots to PP yesterday! Thank you , thank you. This is for my mentoring group bokeh challenge. I'm having a hard time getting the lights to be where I want them behind the foreground object. They seem to have minds of their own. But I do like the seasonal feel to this one.
Thanks much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs. They mean a lot to me.

Lovely festive image Jane!! I was having the opposite problem today in getting the foreground (Finlay) where I wanted him!! LOL!! Very pretty snowflakes!! Congrats on the PPs - it seems to get harder to get on it now!! Fav for a lovely warm image!!

How lovely this is :)

[Taffy]

Great idea! And I'm really impressed with the details in the pattern -- did you make this yourself? It's positioned perfectly over the flame.

@taffy I got a designer paper punch and made it from there following your instructions

Love the detail and warm colours in this one Jane. The photo is very clever and certainly very seasonal.

[Milanie]

This is really neat! Love the colors and the bokeh - still don't have it figured out how you do that - will just enjoy your lovely projects!

[Lisa Poland]

Beautiful!

@milaniet I'd be happy to tell you if you'd like

Nice bokeh....maybe you need to be a bit further away? I almost don't want to see so much definition and structure in the bokeh, but it could just be me...

@panthora I think you are right
