This was shot inside and during a band's gig in a local
bar here in the Philippines. I was holding my camera with a 55-200 zoom lens. Since no flash photography is allowed, and i have no tripod, I tried to get this shot without moving a muscle. Fortunately, the blur had an effect that is quite endearing and he looked like a painting on canvass.

I love the very artistic treatment of this. It looks so much like a painting. Very nice. As to the bokeh, I think it might be lacking a bit. Doesn't matter, I am giving it a 7 anyway, though if it was portraiture, I would give it at least an 8. Can't wait to see the technique on this one.
A very small picture of a man, with the title 'man' entered in a challenge called 'bokeh'. Blurred foreground and blurred background, yes. I think the most 'bokeh'/'broken' or blurred/indistinct thing about this challenge is the idea of what we're supposed to be looking for. I actually like blurred pictures like this one, but I won't give it more than 4 for now...
I'm not too big a fan of redish tints like this, but at least it adds an emotion, so I'm bumping up on that, giving you an 6 to help bump your score too, because I think people will vote this a bit harsh for not meeting the challenge.. But it's still a cool shot, so 6 it is!
The point of bokeh is to have either the forground or the background out of focus not the whole immage. It is a good image but not for this challenge. 3
