 Had fun looking for "bokeh" even though the sun refused to shine whenever I could go out this week. Taken on a day when my workplace closed for the day--my first paid assignment(?).

Minimal editing: rotate, crop,levels, usm, selective sharpening, selective burning, color variations to darken the shadows, increase the blue and decrease the green, simple border in black.

I expect voters to look more for circles in the bokeh, but I'm not putting my test shot in....It'd be nice to do a six, but I'm also not holding my breath.

this is an interesting image, but lacking any real sharpness. the bokeh is nice, but not enough to compensate for all the oof subject matter.

A little sharper would have been spot on.

Seems like the focus could still be sharper on your subject. Nice bokeh though.

if the sharpness was there, this would have been a very good image - good luck
