Bokeh Bouquet

By far one of the better flower bokeh shots I have seen so far. Very nice colors and clarity, and the bokeh of other flowers really compliments the picture. I tried very much to accomplish the same in my image for this challenge, but did not succeed nearly as well. (I love that saying that doesn't give anything at all away, because there are SO many flower images in this challenge :-P)

While your picture does have bokeh, for me it is missing a subject. In my opinion, bokeh in general (i.e. not just in your picture but in most pictures) is not strong enough to be its own subject.

The bokeh itself is nice, but for me it doesn't really compliment your subject very much. I can't exactly place a finger on why, if its because the colors are too bright, or because your subject doesn't stand out enough, or maybe something else, but it just doesn't feel quite "right" to me. It feels like your bokeh is loud and demanding, and overwhelming your subject in this picture.
Nice use of thirds rule to place your snake in this picture. 5

Unique Bokeh!
One criticism I have here is that the person is reaching for a pawn rather than one of the back figures. THe pawn is completely hidden behind the king, so essentially it looks like the hand is grasping at nothing, which severely takes away from the effect that you were going for. I know your title tries to clarify, and my knowledge of chess clarifies as well, but the actual visual effect is not very strong. I think if the angle of the board had just been shifted slightly so that the pawn was more visibly, this would have worked better.

This image lacks focus for me. For bokeh to be particular effective and pleasing, there needs to be that stark contrast between completely clear and completely blurred. That contrast is missing for me here.

Great capture. One of the few examples I have seen where the bokeh creates drama rather than a peaceful addition of color, and does so in a way that adds to the image. I do think that the title is necessary for this one. I might find that the bokeh takes away from the image, if it wasn't perfectly clear that the dramatic effect was intentional. Fortunately, the intention is made perfectly clear. Your squirrel is "surrounded" indeed.

Yikes! No Thanks!
Lol, did you really need to title this like that? That is one of my greatest fears! I often check the drain to see if a spider is going to climb out :-P (its happened to me before!)
I think that this is a splendid image despite that! Bokeh is subtle, but in a way that helps the photograph, and your subject is certainly unique with all of those water drops. Nice focus too.

Oh man this is gorgeous. Yes, the idea has been done before, but this fits the challenge perfectly, and the image is beautiful! This might be presumptuous this early on in the competition (and with me having seen barely any of the entries), but I predict top 10 for this image
