 I did OK with this shot finishing in the top 15%. I like the bokeh of the Sigma 70-200 2.8. I think I had the 2X teleconverter on this. It was just a candid shot, handheld on a perfect Melbourne morning

This is so pretty Enzo. The bokeh as you call it really turned this photo into something special. Congratulations on a most respectable placing!

Just a thought, out of the challenge context, I think cropping out the lady and orange chair would really make for quite a different effect. It would become somewhat a play of different "blues". :)

This is such a fun, perfect playtime photo. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish voting on this one, but I sure would have scored it higher than 5.9!

Great job!

Great color and resolution. Composition indicates subject is the fishermen, and subject reflects "PLAY" well. Good job!

This looks like it would of been a tough situation to get the exposure correct, yet you did it with mastery. Perfect DOF to boot. Very nice!

awesome circles of confusion. Cat lens or amazing bokeh wide open with another tele?

Was this shot with a mirror telephoto? Those telltale 'donutd' made me think it was. Nice capture of the action. The orange chair pulls my eye away from the main subject though.
