Jakov, this is interesting.  What is this actually?  A negative image of round bokeh?

Yes, taken with D700+200/4 and PN-11. I was testing the combination bokeh against a strong light through branches, then scratch painted it :)

In contrast to Jakov's experiments, this is straight-forward nature photography almost untouched off the camera. Couldn't be simpler.

On yonder hill Who seems to dote

On chlorophyll


Pick one !!

Continuing the 'colour on colour' theme.... An unlikely spin-off from a partial solar eclipse some years ago.

I don't think I know what minimalism is.  Just trying to get a grasp on it from other other photos on this thread.

Great photo! You must have a really good camera.
