Lacking focus unfortunately

I think this is a fantastic picture with a good title. He looks a wee bit out of focus though, with a slightly distracting light just above each ear. I like the crop.

Given the title, I think it would be better focused in on the eye instead of the brim of the hat.

Straight and to the point and what a crop!

I like the feel your "bokehed" background gives to this image, but the subject seems to be too spread out and doesn't have a clear attention getter. A good effort but needed a stronger subject.

Again, one of the few people to actually meet the challenge so you'll get a decent score from me, but in my opinion the photo is a bit busy and your subject doesn't really stand out. Don't know if it's the angle or just the subject itself that leaves me just a bit flat compared to a few other photos. I do like the backlit leaves and the colors. Plus there is bokeh so that helps.

it may be "bad bokeh" from the technical point of view, but it sure is a nice photo!

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." Lots of bokeh here. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Actually the background bokeh is very nice, but the subject could be more attractive!
