Lakeside Rocks

Took this picture last week when I first started experimenting with non-auto settings. Any feedback?

Very nice crisp shot with very nice bokeh. Well done, I like it.

Nice work; I wonder if it might show the rocks to better effect if shot from a slightly higher position.

Thanks :D Hmm, a higher position? I'll try to remember that for the future. Unfortunately, I was just playing around with settings that first day and wasn't really thinking about different angles.

On the risk of sounding like a total newb (even thought I am :P ), what's "bokeh"?

The softness of the parts that are out of focus.

Thanks for the link; it helped a lot as I'm still not familiar with many of the terms :(
