This is a beautiful shot, and should have done better I think. The only problem is that the bokeh seems rather arbitrary (and scarce), rather than an integral part that enhances the photo.
However, outside of the challenge topic, I love the colours and the focus/DOF is perfect. Whilst the crop is quite tight, this works quite well I believe.

I agree with others that in order to meet the challenge more you needed a wider pov to include more bokeh.

hello again,

this is a very nic pic of a flower..... but, with the challenge specifically stating bokeh.... i would have liked the crop to include some of that oof background. it is running a tight line of not meeting the challenge.

I love the color and the focus. Nicely done. Bokeh could have been a larger feature by cropping further out from the flower. Over all, though I think this is one of your better efforts. I would have given this a 6, possibly 7 with more bokeh.

Trading Post - Not a bad flower shot, but the crop really pevents the background bokeh to have any impact on the flower itself. Good color and general detail in the flower head. I think if you had pulled back though to see more of the background you would have scored higher.

Great flower shot! A challenge too early... :-) Works for this one, too, though with such a tight crop, the bokeh doesn't emphasize the flower as much as it could if the crop were a bit wider. That said, this is an excellent shot - the color is very rich and warm without being overly bright or oversaturated; the focus is excellent; and I like the composition. It's not quite the rule of thirds, but for me, the bud on the right of the bloom balances it nicely.

The contrasting colors are just awesome to look at. Well done. I just dont know how well flower shots are going to do with so many in this challenge. Good Luck.

Gorgeous! And the green surrounding really sets off the color.

IMHO this is too tight a crop. Not enough negative space for the "out of focus" background / foreground to enhance the subject. Beautiful tones and tack sharp focus though make this a beautiful shot that you should be proud of.

Decent DOF, a larger crop might have helped make the background more integral to the photo
