This works. Interesting subject and bokeh in the background. Nice focus on the eyes and well composed overall. Best of luck in the challenge.

I don't think your bg is far enough removed from the focal point to create any bokeh. Another factor is there isn't any backlighting to help generate interesting bokeh. Sorry. Good luck in the challenge.

Decent bokeh here, just nothing really interesting to look at concerning the main subject. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I hope you've put this in a frame somewhere. It's a wonderful, fun capture of this young fella. I'm hard pressed to find any bokeh in this shot however. Don't worry...not voting, just browsing. ;^) Good luck.

AHA! I needed to find that image I mentioned in my earlier post.

Here it is (by wavelength).

The doves in this shot seem to glow. So white. You did a nice job of exposing this image. Tricky to get decent shots midday without really harsh shadows, but you pulled it off here. One thing you might consider is an alternate crop/composition by positioning the doves in the upper right thirds grid, or lower right thirds grid (they seem a bit too centered). Use the angle of the roof as a leading line.

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Lonely Corner

I like your choice of subject matter for this entry, and your choice of post-processing in B/W. The faceplates on the wall next to the subject are a bit distracting but not sure how you could get around them. Maybe since it was advanced editing they could have been removed as a distracting element?

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Capturing a Bokeh Moon

Think I'm looking at a winner here! Love the blue tone, it's wonderful. Very nice bokeh AND it adds to the image (plus the title helps). Only nitpick is the spider may be a little soft. I say may, because this work monitor isn't the best (no worries, not voting, just browsing). Best of luck to you in the challenge. ;^)

Nice image, cute (appropriate) title. Composition is right on. Nice bokeh. A little blown out on the highlights, but not terribly. Should do well with this. Good luck!
