This is a beautiful image. The background compliments the subject nicely, and the subject is nice and crisp. However, in my opinion, it's not a perfect example of using bokeh to enhance an image. I tend to think of bokeh as 'out-of-focus specular highlights.' To me, this is more an example of shallow depth of field. But, it's such a great photo that I can't see myself giving it less than a 10. Congratulations on a wonderful photo!

Would have been better without the blownout sky and water. There's also noticable barrel distortion (curved horizon).

I think a bit more light on the subject and toning down the specular highlights in the background would have made a better shot. It's a good idea (actually quite similar to one that I had in mind for this challenge and didn't have time for), and the bokeh is very nice and fits the subject, but the background is overpowering the subject a bit. An 8 from me.

A very nice portrait. The background highlights lead the your eye to her eyes. The bright upper left corner of the image is a bit distracting. An 8 from me.

The subject isn't very interesting, but it is accentuated by the bokeh. 8

A nice bouquet, but no bokeh. Some out-of-focus highlights in the background would have helped I think. 7
