One For The Road

ay-yi-yi...where to begin? ok, as an image, i love it, and will add it to my faves. however, i don't understand why you left the water drops? why didn't you take the time to wipe them down? along these lines, this being an advanced editing challenge, you could have burned out the glare at the top center of the glass.

now, as far as the challenge goes, bokeh, by whatever definition you want to employ, involves the background and/or foreground contributing to the overall image. here, it is too dark to do anything other than offer contrast.

i may be wrong, but your score will probably not be where you want it to be. don't let it faze you. this is an great capture--i just don't thing it's a great challenge entry. just keep shooting and submitting, and pay attention to whatever other comments you get. good luck!
