Great lighting. Looks anything but dormant, though!

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." Check, Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Definitely. Well done, crabappl ;)

Not a lot of bokeh to this, just a cluster of them near the bottom. Strange, eerie colors. Effective frame. As an aside, I'd question whether this dandelion is really "dormant", but that's neither here nor there. Nicely composed and lit.

I like this image a lot but don't know that the blurred areas of the image add that much impact for me or wow me with their aesthetic. Certainly I do think that the shallow DOF background works well for the image and I also like the little bit of detail and reflection on the container but - the shapes and colours of the background don't thrill me. There's also something weird about the luminous nature of the dandelion head - something about the lighting perhaps that looks odd to me. I voted this a 6.
