yes, you have achieved a bokeh effect, but it is more of a distraction than an enhancement for your subject. the subject and general composition are interesting, but the amount of detail found in the background is more visual clutter than complimentary.
Background bokeh does not enhance your subject. This is a quote from the description of the challenge, "take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background." I don't feel that the house enhances your turtle....the shapes and color and overal feel of the background does nothing for your actual subject. Nice try.
The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Yep. But from a creative, aesthetic standpoint I don't find this shot inspiring.
