The bokeh is obscure at best. Too bland. Bird looks cool.

Comment by orussell:
Reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe. Black subjects are very hard to capture well - there is a fine line between getting enough contrast in the image without blowing out any highlights. I think you have done this efectively, although I find your focus a touch soft. The bokeh you have produced is sufficient to isolate the subject from the BG, even though there are no tell-tale artifacts to suggest that this bokeh isn't just a solid BG, slightly OOF. Still I really like it and is one of my top picks.

Great title. My husband would go ape over this because he loves ravens. I like the contrast between the sharp focus bright feathered bird and the blurred background.

Comment by Anachronite:
your background is really more of a negative space rather than a bokeh. for me this does not meet the challenge.
