Beautiful. You really create works of art with your photos, sher. Really nice colors and detail here.

I can sure relate to this one! I really like the lighting on this one, but the aspect ratio seems a bit odd. I like that there's not a bright shining light on the shoes, which could have been an easy mistake to make with that material. Well done.

Looks like a mixture of both and I should know...I'm an expert! The reflections are distracting, but properly lit this could be a fun poster type shot.

I think the strength of this image is exactly what others have said as a flaw...lacking a specific subject. I think the colors and movement of the flames give it a real abstract feel. I would crop more into the part on the left of the photo, leaving out most of the bottom and all of the trees on the right....focus on the fire.

Nice vibrant colors! Your photography generally seems to have a nice, crisp appeal to it imo. Not crazy about the composition and set up here.

This one hurts my eyes! I, too, had to try this after seeing it done here. It's a neat trick and fun to do. This just seems really flat and too bright to my eye.

I'm not sure if the background here really is bokeh, but I'm no expert. I do know that I really like the photo if it was cropped below the red spout...just showing the water against the background. To me, that makes it a wow abstract style shot. Neat colors.

Considering the challenge was bokeh, I'm not all that impressed with the bokeh that is here. I see it, but I don't think it really is the focus of the photograph or add much to it. On it's own, outside of the challenge, it's a nice shot...perhaps a bit tight in the crop at the top. Some nice textures and good exposure in the different lighting areas of the photo.

Might be rather cliche for some folks, but I personally find this stunning. I am a huge sky/sunset fan and I could really spend some time enjoying this one. Very beautiful.

Yikes! Not the words I would speak upon seeing this guy! Creepy but very effective shot!
