WOW. Great soft focus.

Ahoy There !

You have created bokeh but the harsh flash on the ornament takes away from the image. Maybe try using natural or ambient light with a slower shutter or difusing your flash with tissue paper or the like. Hope this helps.

The idea of bokeh, as I understand it, is to separate the subject from the background, by making it (the background) out of focus to the point where it is unrecognizable, and therefore not distracting. Your title suggests the boy as your subject, but you focus on the toy. And to add to that the BG isn't out of focus enough to be considered bokeh. Hope this is helpful.

The Fence By The Mill

I think the idea of bokeh is to isolate the subject from the background by making it ( the background) so out of focus that it is unrecognizable and therefore not a distracting element in the image. In this image, even though the fence is your subject, the eye is drawn to the much larger, more interesting mill. Hope this is helpful.

Red Leaf

Very rich colours but I think you have too much going on in the image which in and of itself is very distracting. I think the red/purple leaves against green grass is very appealing but you need to eliminate some of the other elements in your composition. Hope this is helpful.

Interesting concept. The idea would have worked much better in another challenge. I guess it could be considered bokeh to some degree but really you are not separating your subject from the BG, but using the BG to add to the drama of the shot.

In this image the BG is in focus to well to be anywhere near bokeh. With such a large subject it could prove difficult to create the bokeh effect without a very long lens, shooting from a distance, I would think.

I like the way the orange/yellow stands out against the blue/grey background. Also well executed bokeh.

Winter Berries

Nicely saturated colour and well executed bokeh. I do find however the berries in the BG distract the viewer away from the main subject. Maybe a different crop or composition could work better.
