That was a 10 for me as well. But the one that really breaks my heart is this one:

Gunnsi

This was the hands-down winner for me. Talk about knee-jerk reactions to blur. Bah! Humbug!

I didn't vote on this one, but it seems that, as usual, a lot of potentially good entries ended up near the bottom of the pile because people imposed their own narror definitions on the project descriptions. Shame.

At least the comments on my own image were fair - some people got DNMC comments when their images clearly contained out of focus parts, many of which were very cleverly designed. The images did meet the challenge, but I think people were looking for shiny circles and voted 1 on images that didn't have them.

I absolutely loved this shot by

lowonenergy. Very engaging, and underrated, IMO.

My top picture was 14th overall. I thought for sure it would win.

Me neither, but I'd MUCH rather have an overrated score. ;-)

I voted this lower because it seems to be someone else's artwork taken through a pane of glass. If that's not the case, then it deserves a 12 at least.

I told someone the other day, you know your score sucked when you find your image in the underrated thread!

Please don't start an "overrated" thread. My images views would skyrocket!

I hope that before the next Bokeh Challenge that the tutorial on Bokeh is found and displayed. I think there is a difference between Bokeh and an OOF background. The #11 finisher has a good display of Bokeh in my opinion.

Thinking something doesn't make it so. The definition is easy. Getting people to accept it seems to be the hard part. :-/

From Wikipedia: Bokeh is a photographic term describing the subjective aesthetic qualities of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens.

LOL. Those posts tend to be corrected fairly quickly. If you prefer... from Dictionary.com: a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image
