Yes, this is shot in portrait orientation, yes this is not shot with a wide angle, but to me this is still a landscape...
Bokeh: This is the natural bokeh of mirror lenses. Because of the central obstruction, bokeh is donut-shaped.
DOF: I have to admit that I like it this way. For sure it's very small, as this is shot from a distance of about 3 meters, so dof is less than 1cm. To increase DOF, the only way with those lenses is to go away from your subject.

Hey, I just saw this. Very cool effect. Image could benefit from PP for luminosity; if you want me to show you how, my e-mail's on profile, need a larger original.
Woah. That is freaky. I've never seen morning dew like that. Very interesting shot and the shallow DOF sure did create a cool effect with the dew droplets.
DOF so shallow no significant portion of the shot is in focus. Was this takeken with a mirror lens? ("donut bokeh") An interesting effect with the dew, but the effect would be nicer if a greater portion of the scene was in focus enough to see some of the dew in focus.
the shallow depth of field was a good idea to play with the dew drops but you really should have focused clearly on one of the flowers, to anchor the eye of the viewer somewhere. Right now, it just wanders around, wondering what you really wanted to showcase. That being said, kudos for trying something really different!
