what an interesting entry. in some ways, this just defies comment, other than to say thanks for sharing, and that i hope viewers will give it the attention it deserves. now, if you don't mind, i think i'm just going to sit back and enjoy this for a moment or two. good luck with this, and all the coming challenges.

This shot doesn't strike me as impactful in the least- I'd go with a more interesting subject.

I like your thinking in photographing these - I can't help but thinking a better time of day/another perspective would have worked better - the sadwos cast over the first two bins are a little overpowering.

Interesting shot, but doesn't seem to have alot of punch to it.

Simple shot. Shadow of the tree(s) to the right deadens the colours of the bins.

The heavy shadows hurt this.

yes, you have achieved a bokeh effect, but it is more of a distraction than an enhancement for your subject. the subject and general composition are interesting, but the amount of detail found in the background is more visual clutter than complimentary.

Comment by Montereykiddo:
Background bokeh does not enhance your subject. This is a quote from the description of the challenge, "take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background." I don't feel that the house enhances your turtle....the shapes and color and overal feel of the background does nothing for your actual subject. Nice try.

blown sky in the background is bogging it down
