I took this with my "newest" vintage lens, a CZ Jena Pancolar 50mm f1.8.
I won't have you guess what this is, because I wouldn't even know what it was if I hadn't taken it :)
I was in the back yard looking for something to photograph. The neighbour had placed something (I think it's the top of a broken bird cage, with chains to hang it) on top of a stump just over the fence between our yards. There was an autumn leaf lying in it as well as bits of branches and other "flotsam and jetsam." I liked the look of it and even though I was shooting right into the morning sun, I went for it. I'm quite happy with the bokeh taken wide open.
