Mountain laurel bush taken with my macro lens; tried to focus on only a few flowers in the center of the flower cluster to achieve the bokeh effect, but I'm afraid many people will be upset because the whole plant isn't in focus...but this is the effect I wanted, so try to give me a break here..lol. Levels, curves, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, usm, cropped.
excuse the spelling error: mountain laurel

Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a flower - I have nothing against flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). Good luck!
I was just admiring some fading mountain laurel on Apple Orchard Mountain in Virginia last week. This is a beautiful capture. Amazing focus/DOF with beautiful bokeh. Very well done!
