A very pleasant scene, quiet and serene.
I think the score reflects the vast majority of voters impression that the foreground is not bokeh. It appears at first glance to be smooth water, and for the quick voter this would likely result in the low score.
From a deeper look at the photo, it appears that the blur in the foreground is due in part to the smooth water and secondly by some post processing such as noise ninja etc. This may not actually be the case, but it is what it appears to be. Looking at the entries that scored very highly, the foreground brings something important to the scene, whether it be water droplets or leaves or other flowers, where that foreground is a very important contributing factor to the image. In the case of your shot, the foreground water is quiet, but our eyes are only drawn to the bridges and trees. |
