The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." We do see that here. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? The combination of flowers and berries do make for a colorful image, but to my eye the frame looks crammed full and contrived. I'd prefer to see more simplicity. So in that respect, I don't feel that any element here enhances another, they just distract from one another.

Nice shot! Like the road on the edge. Seems like a low wind dreary day though.

An interesting subject, and well photographed. The background is a bit distracting though. Might have been better if it were more out of focus.

Ah, a Hemingway fan :) Or John Donne?
Looks nice, but I'd have kept this image for another challenge. A gong is not mechanical, it's acoustic, isn't it? In our physics classes, there were two different chapters for each. You'll surely tell me after the challenge if I'm wrong. A church clock would have been more mechanical, as you have to pull a rope to make it toll. Anyways, the picture is nice, but because of the weak link to the challenge, I give you a 6.

Nice colors. I recommend not centering it so much.
