Once again you have used DoF well. IMHO I think it would have been better if the line between the rope and background was not in the center of the image. I prefer 2/3 rope, 1/3 background. (But of course since I have a shot that is all "air" and little rope, there is no reason for me to talk or you to listen.)

REALLY great bokeh and cool composition, as I'm sure you know. Love the soft/hard texture feel between left and right. Personally would have preferred a bit more luminosity, perhaps brighter highlights, to give more of a "pop" effect, though it could be said that the less bright background blends well with the shadow side of the rope. Nicely abstract.

Trading post...
That score breakdown is weird! 1-1's 1-10's, 6-2's 6-9's, 32-4's 32-7's, LOL! Very nice bokeh, and excellent use of lighting as always. You always have such an eye for that light! The texture is great, I could almost get a callus just looking.

It's a very nice and well composed shot. The use of DOF is excellent and created a very nice feel. Lovely photo. 9 for me :)

Lovely blue. Great soft focus on the scenery and I like the blue reflection on the rope. Great image.
