your photo matches the quote so well – mysterious bits of secrets in the light bokeh effects

Every now and then I have to play with the bokeh. It’s usually a battle with focus that makes me take the decorative option!

I did struggle with this quote … I prefer openness (not to be confused with blandness).

same here – the secret word does not sit right – but I think the author of the quote might have meant mystery – perhaps?

The joy of words! (As well as photos) to me, mystery sounds more as though the photographer is creating the mystery whereas secret sounds more unintentional. But that’s just my interpretation. I had had this quote waiting for ages and couldn’t think what to put with it.

thanks for the reply- and the photo you used made me think of secret in a better way –
but funny you should say “Unintentional” because I feel the opposite with that word – to me it is quite intentional – a secret seems to be something concealed on purpose – whereas a mystery is unknown.
and I know we are talking photos – but hate the word ‘secret’ because in my mind it has connotations of hiding, burying, untruthful, and maybe even devious. How’s that for not liking a word… lol
