 ...on vacation and noticed the challenge topic this morning. At the beach again this afternoon and this pair of sandals looked enticing; toss in a little beach sand and some ocean background twinkle, and voila - challenge entry made to order. At least good for a 5.15 eh? :-)

Would have liked to gone shallower (say 1.4 to 2.0) but even with a ND2 and a polarizer I couldn't keep the exposure in check.

This is the kind of bokeh scene I'd like to see right now. Love how the water is radiating light.
