Is Bokeh only about out of focus backgrounds?

He, he, bokeh is like those things when you say, "I don't know how to explain it, but I know it when I see it."

Cool thing is that bokeh can be anything you imagine that it is. It is the universal symbol for all things blurry. lol

I should have taken a picture of a customer today but feared a dnmc.
He came in and said "I bokeh my car" - can you fix it today?

Unfortunately, the rules for Bokeh III specifically state a photograph with a subject. I see no subject in your example.

Of course there's a subject. It might not meet the weird definition for the current challenge, but there is certainly a subject in that photo.

Yes!!!! I like that. Who in the world decided that a "subject" has to be just this one thing - something "in focus"?

Not that I want to start another fight here :)
