Greetings from the Critique Club...
I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6 or 7.
The Bokeh in the photograph is absolutely stunning. The fact there is bokeh in the background and foreground and that you have managed to balance it all is no small feat. I think the positioning of the star could use some improvement. I don't mind it being centered, but at it shows, it is not parallel to the camera plane. It would be stronger if it were not pointing to the left. Other than that, I do not have much to add.
Overall it is a very nice image. Congrats on your top 20 finish.
If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you. |

| love all the OF color circles and I like how the star looks like it's suspended in mid air......IMHO, the border is a little too much |

I really love the bokeh, but I'm not sold on the star itself. The composition isn't centered, and it doesn't obey the rule of thirds, so it sits funny in my (not very creative) mind. Still a very polished image.
Also, I think the border is a bit much - there's enough red and green already ! :) |

| Not crazy about the textures in the star, especially against that beautiful background, but that's just me. Nice job! |

| Very nice job on the colors, and using depth of field to direct attention to the star. The border is a little busy for me, and the red in it, distracts a bit from the image. A 7 from me. |

| The colors in this are pleasing. Wish the center star were illuminated a bit more. |

| Great bokeh! I think the central star could be a tad brighter but the background is really great. |
