Beautiful wisteria with perfect dof and fabulous bokeh! Love all the little highlights - it has a name but my brain can’t think of it -specular highlights? I need to check that Hazel as it could be the wrong word! Lol! Fav for your gorgeous image!

@quietpurplehaze You may well be right - what's in a name! What's happening here is that the background is mostly much brighter than the foreground so, relatively speaking, the light parts appear to the lens as point light sources and are rendered as such; the darker areas are simply rendered out-of-focus.
@pamknowler Indeed, specular highlights is what they are or rather here, as mentioned above, they are pseudo specular highlights ☺
Perhaps a question of 'What's in a name?'

Thank you and for the information!
I am reminded of my niece when young and could not say 'complicated' so resorted to 'caticomplied'. All very interesting, thank you!!
