Robbed. Definitely. This shot really tackled the challenge well. Because it's abstract, I think a lot of people simply dismiss it immediately.
But if you give yourself a little time to look at it, it really draws you in.
Never got around to voting on it, but I like it. Definitely would have rated it higher than it got.
Keep trying.

4.58? This was underrated. I would have guessed 5.3 or so at least. It's a nice shot. Very abstract, which isn't bad, but doesn't always fly on DPC. The bokeh is, to the purist, "bad" but only because of your lens and not because of your shot. On the other hand, those little donuts are sorta cool. Lends to the abstract quality.

In composition, I would have shifted the field of view a little to the left so as to have a bit more of the space behind the vase. I think it's a tad cramped over there as it is.

I didn't vote this one in the challenge, but I would have likely given it a 5 or 6, so I think you got robbed a bit. ;)

Interesting shapes, but no clear subject. My eye doesn't know what to look at.

It actually is fun... Difficult to fit to the challenge, because it looks blurred even where it isn't. I'll give it 8 though, for a fascinating image.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have at least something in focus, or recognizable.

Really up close, but looks more like an Abstract rather than "Bokeh"..... The "Bokeh" is there, but seems to get overtaken by the busy composition.....

This would have been something I would have given high marks to in the beatles challenge. It is artistic enough that I could see them using an image like this.

I'm not sure what's going on this image.

I don't see what is in focus here. Nice colors.

Meets challenge: "... take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background." But what is what, hard for me to see ...
