Big snow of the new year so far. Went out with my 80-200, aperature prefered to keep depth of field shallow. Took several of birds and then saw my daughter out shoveling snow. 155mm focal length, adjusted levels in photoshop elements 3.

nice capture. this would have done well in candid. here, for me, the bokeh is a bit too busy, providing more of a distraction than an enhancement. i like the colors, and the sparkles in her hat really bring a lot to the image. good luck!
This shows nice bokeh that is related to the subject. Cute kid, nice smile, and nice colors. My only complaint is the crop. This would have been much better with both hands showing on the shovel rather than one arm cropped out. Still very nice.
I really like this! The bokeh is great, her expression is sweet and perfectly captured. There's not a thing wrong with it that I can see :) Should make at the very least top 15
Nice job capturing the bokeh. It would have been a little better if she wore a different color hat so there was more contrast between her and the background. Nice shot though.
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. Looks cold from front to back!
