Subject Information:	I was photographing my wilderness sculpture for a school art project and saw the rosehips. They were a very brilliant red, so I took two different photographs. I liked the other photograph better but this one had the most interesting Bokeh. My dad is a member of the Olympus list and he suggested I submit this photograph for the Bokeh TOPE, since it was taken in the TOPE period.

Awesome bokeh! In fact, its so good that I think the image would be even better if NOTHING were in focus, if the image was pure bokeh.

Nice bokeh, indeed. I'd have taken about a half step to the left when shooting this, to put the hips in front of the darker part of the background and move the out-of-focus twigs toward the center of the picture...but that's a nit.
