Notice from Site Council: It is inappropriate for any member to single out a challenge entry (even their own).
If you don't like the comment someone gave you -- hold your tongue until the voting is over and then send them a civil PM -- the forums are NEVER an appropriate place for this.
If someone affronts you by calling out your comment, either suck it up, change your comment or report them to SC. Don't respond to them in the forums. I know SC can be slow. Patience is a virtue. |

I don't really care to debate the point - but I feel it is probably useful to point out that both Boke and Bokeh are correct, Boke is the traditional Japanese spelling, and I am absolutely certain that it was in no way a mistake that he spelled it that way. :) |

I have since discovered this :) Never knew that. |

The 3 comments I posted in my thread and which have now been removed could have applied to any of the 87 images in the challenge. There was nothing at all in those comments that could have identified any particular entry.

As a debateable point - I think bokeh is NOT motion blur, but outside of that, basically anything which is not in focus is potentially bokeh.
The question the voters really need to be evaluating in the challenge is "are the out of focus areas pleasing to me, and do they enhance the 'feel' of the subject?"..
In fact, I am quite certain that every photo in the challenge has bokeh - some of them are less pleasing than others though. :) |

I found one of the images by simply looking at what you posted and reviewing the challenge entries. Thus, I beg to differ. Also, if you want to challenge an SC decision, the most effective way is via PM. Doing it in the forums ruins threads and angers admins. |

You'e right. I just noticed that there is indeed a clue in one of the comments that could identify one particular image. I overlooked that. |

Well I am starting to wonder when the drop will stop |
my pattern is very similar to yours although my highest point was 7.40!
4 comments, some critical, some good, all which I can handle, I knew it was coming and one saying it's in their top 3! |

At last...after this non-stop drop the tide has turned. I hope it now keeps on rising steadily instead of dropping again.

Three comments. Yay! One was very constructive, I TRIED to do like this person said... just didn't quite work out. Oh well.
I still like my image... execution just wasn't quite there.
