Beautiful silky smooth bokeh, and a really great looking drop! Well captured with good light. Bumping up!

this is an interesting shot that could be even more interesting with more detail in the drop. on the other hand, working with droplets is a major PITA, so kudos for that. you have achieved a nice bokeh effect, i just think that there is too, too much dead space in the image as a whole. you could easily do without the left 25% of the image (hold your hand up to the image, and you'll see what i mean). it could also stand to lose a bit off the top. aside from that, this is pleasant image. good luck!

Nice control of depth here. I like the way colours blend in and moves the focus to the green bit in the centre of the flower. It's got a lot of energy. Nice work.

good clarity on the subject, simple and elegant. nice and sharp, great color difference between foreground and background.

Some might dismiss this as merely shallow DOF and not bokeh but since I'm using the broader definition of bokeh as the aesthetic contributions to overall image of the blurred areas of an image this works for me! And it's one of my top 5 favourite entries in the challenge. I just love the way the blurred branch curving away into the corner creates a sense of compositional balance and depth to the image. It's just gorgeous!

A beautiful macro, great use of dof, but not bokeh in my opinion. Just a wide open aperture. I'm not going to beat you down with a 1 though, don't worry. Too much confusion in this challenge.
