*Excellent* detail on the bird! The only thing that detracts from the photo is that it's tail is cropped off. Besides that it's perfect for this challenge and a great shot overall.

Poncho

Seems as if his sweater is more in focus than his face, but other than that I think this is a very good shot. I like the crop and the expression. Nice colors in the "bokeh".

Great bokeh, nice composition, fantastic capture of that look/expression. I do wish his other elbow wasn't chopped off in the crop, but that's not really a big deal. One of my favorites so far :)

Great portrait, good bokeh. I like the angle too. What a striking young lady!

Red on Yellow, Green on Gray

The bokeh here is great, no question about that. However, the flower seems to be most in focus around the leaves rather than the bloom, personally I'd prefer the bloom to be sharper.

Wicked Spider

For some reason I feel like I've seen this before. Weird deja vu. Anyway, good bokeh, love the bits of spiderweb that are highlighted and of course that weird spider is really something else. Great capture!

That's pretty cool! This seems to work well for the challenge, in my opinion, and it's an interesting shot even outside the challenge.

I've liked this one since I first started voting on this challenge. I keep coming back because the family is just so cute! Gonna bump it up just once more before the challenge is over :)

This really is a beautiful shot, brings to mind the style of one photographer whom I will not name because I'm still a newbie here and I'm probably wrong :) At first I was bothered by not being able to tell what the resolution might be without reading the title, but its such an incredible photo I'm not going to let that bring the score down, back to bump up before the final tally in an hour.
