"Bokeh art": Pear, Flower & Doughnuts

One quirk of a mirror lens is that it gives a very distinctive bokeh - circular rings, often described as "doughnut" shapes.

I'd decided to try that out today, with a crisply-focused subject against a nicely doughnutty background. While I was pointing the camera at various potential backgrounds, though, I really liked how these Christmas decorations looked and decided just to shoot them out of focus in their own right. I fiddled around with the focus to soften the bokeh a bit (it can be very stark and emphatic with this lens) and keep the shape of the decorations obvious.
