Very nice. Great Bokeh.
You might consider cloning out the Mfg sticker as it distracts the viewers eye.
Good luck, Author

Thank you, nice idea to clone out the sticker, but not allowed.

Hmmm,
I cant find any mention of retouches being disallowed.
Id verify with a Mod on that but, your call!

Photograpy Contest Guidelines
In general, you should try to avoid editing your photos, whether in camera or with some editing software on a computer. Being a good photographer also means being able to take good shots without having to edit afterwards. We understand that enhancing pictures after the fact has a long tradition in photography and thus we allow for certain digital darkroom techniques, which is readily available in most photo handling software today. As a general rule, you are allowed to all adjustments which act on the whole picture and on exactly one picture (a.k.a. non selective editing). This includes:

- 6.1.: Only enter photos you made yourself. Do NOT Google photos and enter them as yours.
- 6.2.: Read the contest description carefully and make sure you understand what is required.
- 6.3.: If you feel an entry is off theme or something else is wrong with an entry: use the 'contact moderator' option which shows at each entry.
- 6.4.: Small alterations to photos are allowed; removing dead pixels, color adjustments, B&W conversion and so on. - Adding a border for instance is OK. - Filters, if used, should be kept to a minimum and affect the entire image.
- 6.5.: Keep your entry anonymous! No watermarks, no comments with your (user)name in it while the contests are running, no tags with your (user)name. adjustments/shifting
- 6.6.: You can not re-use a photo from a previous contest in a new contest.
