Bokeh! show it off

Took this shot last December of my Christmas cactus' first blooms of the season. Taken with a Nikkor 35-70mm F2.8D at 35mm at 4.5 aperture in macro mode, which comes out to 52.5mm when adjusted for crop. This lens only works in macro if set to 35mm, and is manual focus only in macro. Camera is a Nikon D7500 on a tripod. Bokeh looks good to me, but then I'm easy to please. I set a few different apertures and F4.5 looked best to me. This is the sharpest zoom lens I have. Probably 25yo and still taking wonderful images.

Bokeh - The Japanese word Boke derived from the verb "bokase" meaning to smudge or make blurry. Pronounced BO-KEH in English. The blurry, or out of focus region behind a subject is called the bokeh. A pleasing bokeh is one which has soft, round edges to the objects

Isn't this thread about images personally taken?
 
I may have already shared this elsewhere (can't remember), but this is a lower res copy of a pic I took with a Canon G16 I used to have of a Bold Jumping Spider (Phidippus audax) that was on top of a plant cage in my garden. It was between the size of a green pea and a chickpea. It's not the sharpest pic, as this was just an opportunistic shot that I took freehand. As jumping spiders are, it was extremely skittish, so it took quite a few attempts to get a good enough shot of it. I'd have to look at the file info again, but I'm 99.9% certain it was captured wide open at f1.8.
