 Shot in Manual mode. With overcast sky, I set my ISO to 400 and aperture to 5.6 in order to get the foreground bokeh on the palm fronds. With the light available, the proper shutter speed was 1/400 sec. Converted from RAW to TIFF to JPG.

I like the way the b/w works on the tank, but I don't find much interest in it. Maybe there is too much foreground.

The foreground in this shot makes a nice natural border, but seems more like a distraction than what I was expecting with bokeh.
