A somewhat new discovery, I find bokeh a fascinating dimension of photography and would like to learn more. Here I've tried to make bokeh as much the main subject of my photo as the in-focus subject, used more to enhance the contrast with the bokeh. Perhaps voters may find it strays from the challenge or doesn't have enough "dancing lights or orbs" but I like it a lot and had a lot of fun exploring the concept since it's also my first challenge attempt with my new camera and lens. So would just be happy to get useful comments altho having a score to push up my average would be most welcomed too. :)
Post-challenge: Wow - new personal best, most comments and most favourites in any challenge. Couldn't ask for more at this point. Thank you to all who voted high and marked it as a favourite. And thanks so much for all the great comments, even those who didn't really like it but who took the time to let me know :) Wow! (still rolling eyes in disbelief ...)

YOu definitely made the bokeh either a primary or strong secondary subject. I feel as if the foreground flowers are framing the OOF floowers in the BG. NOt sure how you achieved this effect but it is very paint-like. Great finish in a challenge with ovre 400 entries.
Highly impressionistic, great comp, excellent color,great light, excellent movement, barely got your focal plane on the red flower, whites a bit blown but nt disturbingly, blacks ok,
I love this. This would be a perfect framed photo for a wall. Very calm and peaceful, I really like the focus on the RED flower, with almost everything else farther behind and blurred. Beautiful1!
I already voted, now back for comments. I gave you a 10 on this shot. Wow what a dreamy feel. This is my favorite from this challenge. Lovely vibrant colors, crisp detail on the red flower alone, excellent subject and bokeh. Love the border too.
That touch of red really sends it over the top for me. It truly does look like a painting, but I'm looking for one object to be in sharp focus, and I'm not finding it. Still, a beautiful image.
