Happy Wednesday Everyone-

For this weeks challenge Bonnie asked for images that showcased "bokeh"
*Photoble.com says: "bokeh comes
from the Japanese word ‘boke’, which means fuzzy. In photography, bokeh
defines the quality of the blurred lights presented in a photo. We’re
not referring to a badly taken photo that’s all out of focus, but rather
the aesthetically pleasing background blur. Usually,
this type of blur highlights the focused subject even more. Producing
nice bokeh involves creating a shallow depth of field."
In the image below I have used one her free layers that she offered on her page for the challenge.
Wow thank you!
And into black and white with a conte` crayon filter...
Here is just one more. All I can remember doing is adding Bonnie's layer, the glowing border filter, and then a negative filter in curves.
