December Assignment Holidays and Depth of Field

It occurred to me that holiday pictures and all that bokeh lend themselves to great examples of how depth of field can change an image. So show us some examples. Of course straight holiday shots and doodles always welcome. And just for a surprise this is a day early! Happy holidays all.

Both were shot on Auto White Balance so I am amazed that none of the colored ornaments lent their color to the bokeh in the second image.

FIRST PICTURES OF THE YEAR

Narrow depth of field isolating Holly from background...
