Perhaps a slightly smaller aperture would have left more of face in focus, which still producing a nice bokeh in the background?

So, how long did you have to wait to get the fly in the shot? Or maybe you just glued it there? :) Great shot and very effective bokeh.

Very nice. If I had to nitpick I'd say that the bird's head is just a little soft, but as this challenge is about the bokeh I reckon you've done a good job.

Nude.. tribute to Edward Weston

Ouch for the 12 1's that I got. Was it really that bad to deserve a 1?

I didn't vote in this challenge, but completely agree with Robert's comment and share your obvious frustration. Anyone who's ever examined Weston's shots realises that nudes were a significant part of his body of work. So for folks to vote in this challenge and then dole out 1s to nude shots is plainly idiotic IMO. Without the 1s you'd have finished with a 6+ score, which is what this shot deserved.

ETA: Glad to see the ridiculous 1s removed with the recalculation of votes. That's helped your score somewhat. :)

You woz robbed Ray! I had a feeling the grain might not be popular with the masses, but to have only scored 5.5 - c'mon. FWIW I voted this a 7.
