Nice bokeh as foreground and background. Very vibrant colour. Something different than the usual "orb" type bokeh! Good luck!

Something different. A very nice photo. Love the lighting, the composition and the cigarette smoke. Good shot.

A different kind of bokeh. There are plenty of photos in this challenge that use the "orb" kind of background as bokeh, and it's boring, at least for me. In this photo, I like the contrast of the foreground against the background.

This is a really nice shot! Unlike so many other photos which have the "orb" thing as bokeh, this photo brought a big surprise! Also, it's a tortoise and not a frog (thank goodness for a change!). I love the composition. It shows the distance the tortoise has walked and the trail it is leaving behind. Great shot and great colour! 10!

At least a photo that is different from the so many bokeh photos that have this weird "orb" thing as bokeh! Nice composition and it makes the viewer wonder what he/she is doing or baking!

Nice shot. I like the reflection and the fact that it stays true to the challenge. It's not made up.

Bye! Thanks for coming!

It's a very simple photo but straight forward. I like it. The photo stays true to the challenge -- personification. The best thing in this photo is that it's natural in a sense that it's not made up like so many other photos in this challenge. It's not "engineered" or "constructed" to fit into the challenge. On the technical side, the sky is a bit washed out. Overall, I like the photo.

Good shot. I personally feel that had the flash been stronger, the faces are better lit up. Nonetheless, it's a good shot. 7!

Nice capture. I can tell that you used flash but the exposure is nicely done.

I love this shot. I can feel the flash reaching out to the dark background. It would be great to see the unprocessed photo for comparison. I also love the water movement. I hope no ducks were killed though! :)
