Sorry but this is too dark/noisy for my taste, I would have liked it better if the whole image was brighter and more crystal clear.

At first I thought there was a bit too much noise, but after looking at your entry a bit longer, I like it! the reflection in the glass ball is great, and the water really fits this photo. maybe you could've put the ball a bit more to the top or bottom to get that 1/3 rule.

It's not my favourite pic. And it has quite a few flaws that preclude it from being a very high scoring shot composition doesn't feel balanced enough, and those little insects? in the foreground are distracting). But at least it showed a good understanding of bokeh and how to use it.

I don't understand why people think there has to be something in sharp focus for this challenge. It's not a DOF challenge, it was bokeh - and the bokeh should be the emphasis. Doesn't matter if there is something in the foreground or not, provided the bokeh is interesting...

Not enough in focus here. Bokeh is a blurry background the enhances an in focus subject. Looks like if it were in focus the exposure would have been good as well as your colors and contrast.
