Challenge:Bokeh II (Basic Editing III) Camera:Olympus C-5000Z Location: West Hartford at the res Date: Jun 20, 2006 Aperture: 2.8 ISO: 80 Shutter: 1/40 Galleries:Floral Date Uploaded: Jun 20, 2006
After whining in the forum about feeling excluded I felt I had to enter something. I took one of the suggestions and used my super Macro setting with my adaptor and 4x magnifying lens. Took a bunch of photos and this was clearly the best of my 1st bokeh attempt. Creative.... ? Maybe the title. I adjusted the levels, brightnes contrast saturation and USM adjusted size and saved for web.

Ok, there is some bokeh working her. Problem I see that is going to negatively impact your score is the composition primarily and the subject secondly. The floral item is smack dab in the center of this image. Nothing really going on to be excited about. Maybe a bug or something to add interest? Early morning dew drops? Personally, I take floral shots once in awhile...just trying to be honest. Good luck in the challenge.
