Good placement of the subject.

Bokeh. Nice Composition..
Post actions
Nicely backlit! Good bokeh and tones.
Post actions
The depth of field is nice, but the bokeh in the background really detracts from the subject.

Good idea but a bit on the dark side and OOF. Good DOF.
Post actions
I think the DOF is good, but think it could have been improved if it was shot without the light spots in the bacground... as it is here, they compete for attention.
Post actions
I like the bokeh, but would like to see a bit more light on the flower or whatever it is.
Post actions
I think this would work better if the subject weren't right in the middle but really nice DOF.
Post actions
just two from me Im sorry but its shady and dark not very sharp too ( I know there are sharp places, but the dof should be deeper for my taste)
Post actions
Post actions
not really that interesting
Post actions
nice idea, but the composition is too imbalanced for me.
Post actions
a little more light on the subject would have been better imo
Post actions
Image feels a bit unbalanced, nice DOF
Post actions
nice bokeh supports the spiky flower well
Post actions
Nice bokeh but the "flower" could have been sharper
Post actions
The background lights are more distracting than helpful. Seems to lead the eye away, rather than toward the subject.
Post actions
Nice bokeh in the background. Subject is a little dark.
Post actions
Interesting bokeh, wish the flower were in focus. It's also a bit too centered.
Post actions

Ouch. A bit dark, and without enough contrast to make this pop from the background. Nice focus and use of DOF.
Post actions
The bokeh is great, the subject needs more light.
Post actions
The white areas in the background overpower your flower..
Post actions
too much distracting bokeh in the background, They need to be more subtle. Your subect does not have sufficient contrast to stand out more from the background
Post actions
This one came up for me after a really pretty, bright, cheerful flower - and for some reason, I prefer this quiet little thing - not as showy, not as colorful. But somehow it has an elegeance to it, and those little bokeh lights are willing to follow it, so it must be special!
Post actions
nice depth fo field... what is that thing!? :)

interesting looking plant
Post actions
not enough sharp focus on your plant
Post actions
Interesting shot, the centered composition is not the best choice IMHO.
Post actions
Perhaps the colors are a little flat, but I like the hairs on the stalk.
Post actions
The colors of the thorns are really neat and the whole thing has an interesting texture. However, I think that it is a little too much out of focus and the brightness in the left corner detracts from the picture.
Post actions
It's an interesting plant but the white bokeh pulls my eye away from it ... I can't stay focused on the subject.

Very beautiful use of shallow DOF! If I were to nitpick, there are two things that come to mind. (1) the subject could use just a little more light, and (2) the OOF circles, to my mind, should be to the other side, in the same place to which the plant is leaning into. As it it, the plant is leaning away from them, and visually it doesn't work as well (for my eyes). This is just opinion :)

The focus seems soft on this shot. Would have loved to see the focus a little sharper. Also the lighter blurred background on the left of the photo seems a little distracting.
Post actions
The subject is to dark but I do like the thorns and background.
Post actions
The bokeh in the background is nice. The main subject could be a little brighter.
Post actions
Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!
Post actions
It is nicely focused but the white spots are very distracting.
Post actions

background a little messy....

I like how the bokeh circles sem to come from the flower. a bit of sharpening, a closer crop (1/4 off the right side, 1/6 off top and off bottom for a start) and some curves and color adjustments might have made a really pretty image
