I don't expect this to do very well. I don't think I fully grasped the whole "Bokeh" idea here. Still, as a photo in it's own right, I do rather like it.

An interesting idea. I think the background and the foreground mesh a bit too much. I see what you were trying to convey, just not sure about this. As far as exposure and color, it is terrific. I think placement of the locket in the lower right to see more chain might have helped. A good first attempt at Bokeh.

These are the sweetest "gems" a person can have.

you have most definitely achieved a bokeh effect, but it is rather busy. excellent job focusing and composing of your subjects. would have found the image stronger if the beads in the background were behind the subject and then to have cropped off the right 40% of the image. good luck!

I would prefer just one locket and a little more blur.
Great idea, love the colours.

Really nice composition, one of the most eyecatching in the challenge :)

Your bokeh is there but it doesn't necessarily enhance or emphasize your subject, it distracts me from it. Your idea is good, but the background probably should have been further from the camera to make this work to its full potential.
