Outdoor Ikebana

The complimentary use of warm and cool colors are beautifully rendered. Keeping the sharp focus on a handful of flowers and the bokeh affect of the background shows good balance. Because both the sharp focused flowers and the blurred flowers take up most of the image, it keeps viewers' eyes moving around the whole image. There is a good balance of light, dark and medium values. Having the brighter hues mainly on the focal point shows good design. This is a truly lovely and creative use of bokeh and composition. It stands out.
