Agree totally with your choice - remarkably different images but those fronds are so unusually shaped I reckon they're served best by your silhouetting of them.

Alien invasion, coming to a neighbourhood like yours. Very creative and effective use of the Helios.

nice bit of light play

I like the soft focus and the strong bokeh balls.

Thats some nice light coming from the bokeh balls.

Creamy and bright!

Fabulous Todd! Beautiful composition and those Bokeh balls take the cake!

Why not have the bokeh balls dominate! Full Moons Rising.
A remarkable composition and light play.

Those stars are cool for sure. That drum stick is making me hungry.

I thought you were frying the cat at first
