I'm partial to this one. :-) I like the simple subject, the repetition of pattern, and the wonderful bokeh (both kinds).

Some are going to love it, some are going to hate dislike it. It's nice - have to ask yourself, does the bokeh add anything to this?

I like this better than the color - however - while this is "artistic" I think you're going to get dinged by some saying "shallow DOF doesn't automatically make good bokeh". Really weird...I see an eyeball in the upper-left!!!

I love this one - the last one of the bokeh group I'm commenting on. Of course, I'm very partial to orange, but I also like the composition a lot. Bokeh is good. The whole image is a bit dull in tones - a touch of brightening with the famous levels - or curves - will probably make this pop off the page. My vote is with this one.

I love this. For bokeh - I don't know if it will fare well, though. I realize I'm planting seeds of doubt... But there is a very light and undefined background - I think you might take a hit there. Just my op of course.

This is really close to being great... but I agree that the main clump of flowers is not sharp enough.

I find this quite interesting, and it's not a flower. :-)

I think that I'd like this better if a small part of it was in perfect focus.

This is very cool. I think the DPC voters will like it a lot.

This is one of the stronger ones based on thumbnails, but I think the detail could be better (need to be sharper on the main flowers).
