Insane capture! Those tiny telephone poles getting ever smaller in the distance really add perspective. My top pick, an easy {10}! Good luck!

Loads of bokeh here!

This is a bit sharper than the first. I note the lack of catchlights in her eyes this time, and she seems to be looking downward... was that to allow you to capture that background? Nice lighting and crop again.

Margie, I have no real training or qualifications, so this is just an opinion. As for bokeh, I think this is a very good example. As for the portrait itself there's a lot I like about it: excellent lighting, nice expression, well cropped. However it does seem a bit soft to me both from too-shallow depth of field and maybe some camera shake. Also I would prefer a little photoshop improvement of her face: the speck on the right side of her chin removed, for example, as well as the dark spot at her left nostril and below her left eye.

All in all, she's a cutie and this is a sweet photo!

Title gave me a good chuckle :o) I think the squirrel's a wee bit too centered. Beautiful bokeh in the b/g, by the way! {8}
