Bokeh takes up the majority of this photo unfortunately. If more of the pine cone ends were in focus it would have been more appealing shot.

in this image, the shallow dof really leaves me wanting. there's not enough in part that is sharp for me to latch on to. this is more of an image that has some stuff razor sharp and a lot of stuff oof, and i can't tell what you want me to look at, or what type of reaction you want me to have. the bokeh is there, but it is not really doing anything to compensate for the blurry part of the subject. sorry if this is harsh.

I like this shot, but I think the DOF is a bit too shallow. I would have liked it better if more of the pine cone were in good focus. The colors and composition are nice.

Has bokeh, but very busy-feeling, not pleasing to my eye. I don't know where to rest my eye.

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Present. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Yes. Very nice photo.
