I love the idea, but I keep wanting to turn the photo upside down. Well done.

Interesting idea, I think though that revealing more of the (blurred) backround, i.e. cropping less tightly would be a better composition (7)

Well it is a neat photo to an extent. The Bokeh is actually rather dull and it does not seem to go with the image we see in the glass, meaning it does not see right that the gray background when seen through the glass would resolve to that nice clear image. The background does not seem to fit. To be honest it looks like a gray card behind the glass.

Great shot. The only distracting part of the image is drops around the top of the glass.

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!

Good idea. Good picture but I don't see how the background helps it at all.
