OOF & bokeh

Here's an OOF subject shot that I succeeded at. Not that it's interesting enough to add to a portfolio, but it works for what I was trying to do.

Not too much detail lost on the memorial arch, but just enough to keep your eyes from trying to pick out the details. Is that the point, maybe?

With more practice, I can try to capture a real subject in this way. I need to get a firm handle on the bokeh performance of my camera, that's for sure. Out of 44 shots I took today at lunch, I tried this OOF technique on about 10, and this is by far the best realization of it. I'll check the metadata and estimate some distances to see if I can figure out a successful pattern.
