 My little daughter's sand-sculpture called Mr Sandman hence the title (if you know the song).

I wanted to try bokeh once I learnt what it was all about and I quite like the way this turned out. I don't expect this to do that well with the voters but this won't stress me as I'm happy with it. Anything above low 5's would surprise me.
