 USM, crop, levels, curves and all that jazz

Taken on the way home from work after reading about the challenge, though still a bit uncertain as to what i was lookin for. Got home and saw the results, and thought, maybe this is it.

the white lights make the picture. great bokeh (which is not something I can say for more than about 1 in 10 images). 8

yes, you have achieved a bokeh effect, but i don't find that it is really enhancing your subject. as for the subject, something about the lighting is throwing me off. if this was shot at red rocks outside of denver, shame on you...there is such incredible backgrounds there that you surely could have found a shot that would have rocked the voters here...

I guess the benches are supposed to be the subject, but the structure of the picture leads one to the row of lights in the bg.
