I have numerous shots like this, and always seem to get some fairly decent shots when we have the sprinklers going down at the seedling fields late in the day as the sun starts to go down.
What type of weed this is I haven't a clue, but they are nice to play around with while getting down on the old belly to shoot!

Nice "bokah" Dennis? hehehe!!! Had to look that one up!
I read though where it is spelled "bokeh."

The definition I got is/was:
Bokeh is simply a way to describe how out-of-focus points of light are rendered. It describes the appearance or "feel" of out-of-focus backgrounds and foregrounds. Differing amounts of spherical aberration alter how lenses render out-of-focus points of light, and thus their bokeh. The word "bokeh" comes from Japanese.

More on "bokeh" can be found here.

So anyway, .......................... cool! 8)
I got some "bokeh!" :)

No nits from me. Simple, well balanced and composed and exposed. And the bokeh is nice too :)

If anyone thinks the 300D is a step down in image quality, this flat disproves it. Great shot.
