 Experimenting with the interesting front bokeh on the strings of my Ibanez fretless bass guitar. Very difficult shot to setup - but I love the live view feature on my 40D. Dial-a-DOF :)
I'm a bit worried it'll get pinged for over-processing, but that's how the photo turned out - it only has minor adjustments in PP.

WB is a little too blue/green. Really nice effect of the DOF though!

I don't know if this qualifies in my mind or not. It seems to me that the Bokeh is both in the foreground and is the subject. I can't really fault it, but it's a new concept and I like to think I'm open to new things. 7

It looks like the bokeh extends to the end of the frame. Interesting abstract image, but it needs focus to have FOREGROUND bokeh.

wow...great bokeh...I think it just needs a levels boost in photoshop as it looks a little dull. Levels would have mede this really POP...7

Nice idea. A little more light play and sharper on the focal point would have made a stronger image in my opinion. Good use of fore bokeh.
