Congratulations to anto-XIII for his winning photo titled, “Smoke of bokeh,” in last week’s Christmas Bokeh contest. This photo is just so clever, so of course we love it! The bokeh is perfect and warm and the mug is placed in just the right spot. We love the “Café” detail, too! Nothing like a warm cup o’ joe while you’re enjoying a cold winter morning in front of the Christmas tree. Great job, anto-XIII!

We wanted to say congratulations also to our runner-up, Ian McKenzie, for his peaceful photo titled, “Away in a manger.” The wonderful blue bokeh looks like little sparkly stars. Magical.

Once again, thanks for all of your inspiring images. You sure do know your bokeh. And we are so thankful you guys shared your photos with us! We hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and stay tuned for December’s final contest coming up shortly.
