This is nice. I would've liked a more interesting subject. It looks like it was a beautiful day for shooting!

I like the crop. Leaving the black above really works.

The bokeh is really nice, but I find the brightest part of the shot is the yellow and the parts of the shot in the DOF don't stand out enough. Moving perspective and/or increasing the DOF might have yielded a really nice shot!

The shot is very nice and should do well. I guess my point is that it could great and a medal contender.

WOW! OK I've seen one shot that I predicted a ribbon for. This is one of the best bokeh shots I've ever seen! We're into winter here. I envy you the scenery and I also predict a blue ribbon!

A bit more of the leaf would be nice, but the bokeh is REALLY nice!

A really nice shot of the web. The whole web is in the DOF. I find the bokeh a bit distracting for a bokeh contest, but a nice shot overall.

WOW! Her hair blends so well. There is forground and background bokeh as well. This is quite nice - you may be seeing a ribbon!

A lot of white in the bokeh. It doesn't distract the eye as much as another I saw, but I find color in the bokeh is more effective.

A lot of white in the bokeh never really works for me. I find it distracting and competing with the subject in drawing the eye. I wonder if a different point of view would have given more red and green in the bokeh. I think that would have made it quite nice.
