I reckon this was far too harshly treated. I didn't vote on the challenge because I had my entry in it, but I'd likely have settled around the 6 mark on this one. Yeah, the shadow at the front is a tad distracting, and it would have been nice to have the focus dead sharp at the branch of the lines, but come on, that's a great background / out of focus area that really complements the rest of the shot - the very essence of Bokeh.

In this challenge though, you obviously had to make all the voters go "ooo, shiny" in order to win big. Never mind that this has artistic watercolour quality to it.

I did not really notice the man in this shot, so I found the title to be a bit odd, but thought "ahh never mind".

I like this. Looking out of the shot works well.

I have a feeling that you might get creamed here because it's not what people consider thinking of a classic portrait. Good colour. I'd have liked slight more sharpness on the bird's head for a couple more points.

Nice concept. If she was looking up a tad more I would appreciate this a few points more. I'd also have cloaned out the leg of the chair at the top.
