I knew this image would probably do poorly, and I was right. I liked the image a lot, and mainly submitted it to prove a point to myself. That point is that most people consider a photo to be lacking in bokeh if it doesn't have prominent aperture circles of blur commonly created when photographing points of light or strong highlights. That simply is not the case or a requirement. Bokeh is the overall aesthetic blur in areas of the image which may or may not contain the aperture circles too many assume are required. In this photo the water in the foreground is definitely blurred due to the depth of field. Doesn't have strong aperture circles of light, and it might not appeal to many, but it's still bokeh. My assumptions were accurate based on a couple of the comments and the score. Still a nice shot that's I'm very happy with. :)
