    Brilliant composition. It's quite amazing. You have achieved a great mood with most of the photo out of focus but with perfect clarity in the wisteria. It makes me feel that the perfume from the wisteria has created a haze over the background image. Bravo Doug.

    Beautiful bokeh (or out of focus background) in a very good composition.
