Great gold color, and great bokeh Lorna. I really like the sparkles. It looks like you went for stem sharpness, and I think that works here.

This blast of golden speckles is sweet to the eye, Lorna.

The sharp golden seed heads against all of those oof sparkles make this feel like fireworks. Excellent vision.

Lorna,

I love this. For me, this gives me distinct memories and images of summer fun as a kid in the sprinklers with the golden light of the sun as it set. Of course this has nothing to do with sprinklers... but sure made me think of a certain memory. Anyway, love the highlights and bg. Just lovely.

Thanks all for the lovely comments, funny enough Lon that was how I saw it when I was shooing as summer evening sparklers.

This one really appeals to me Lorna. I don't recall seeing better use of flares and I love the golden light in this. Nice use of space as well. Beautiful image.
