Critique Club feedback -

This is an excellent image of a knife. Unfortunately it pretty much completely misses the point of the challenge.

Great details on those water droplets. I hope to see your work in future challenges.

i'm going to give this 8, not because of it's bokeh effect (because even though there is some in the corners, it's not what i'd call a 'bokeh picture'), but more because it just looks really crisp and stunning.

nice sharpness. also liked the diagonal knife lines. the image would have more impact if the tip was in focus though. still 7 from me

I would think this is a better example of shallow depth of field than bokeh, but it's a nice, sharp (no pun intended) shot.

excellent macro - great details and wonderful clarity - but the background being black does not provide any bokeh to the image - IMO - shallow DOF does not necessarily equal bokeh

You know, this is a fantastic shot, and I have to wonder if you didn't mean to enter this in Power instead. I just can't see that slight blurry part over there being bokeh. If so, and you meant to enter this on, then it is too shoe-horned into this challenge. I'm going to skip voting on this and come back later.
