Bokeh aside, it's a nice stock shot. You did a nice job separating the top phone from the others, but at closer inspection, the focal plane of your lens did not match that of the phone. The top is slightly out of focus. This is a difficult shot, unless you're using a studio camera with an adjustable focal plane.

The corner burns are a nice touch. The only thing off-putting is the bright top right corner. which (imo) would look to have more natural light fall-off if it were burned in also.

Just my thoughts.

sorry, but what you have here is a close up with a shallow dof, and that does not equate to bokeh. this may work as a stock shot, but definitely not for this challenge.

no bokeh

Good picture but I feel it is just shallow dof !

Very nice stock-photo style. The blown-out hilites on the earpiece are a little distracting.

I think this is a bit too tightly cropped, paricularly on the top

I don't care for the antenna being cropped out of frame. Maybe a differnt shooting angle could have left it in?

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." We don't really see points of l ight here in any form. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Based on that definition, no.
