The baby's binky with a rather upset baby in the background. The only post processing was some color correction and sharpening.

You have the right idea about bokeh but I think your dof is too shallow. Because of the pacifier we know that it is a baby in the bg, but if you look at the baby only its a bit hard to make out what it is.

Different. Nice focus on the subject. Good bokeh background connected to the subject. Good composition. Something about this doesn't work for me, but it is not technical. I think it is the fact that the background is a baby with no face. I don't really know how else to explain. Good effort, and I could see this being in demand as a stockphoto to be used in parenting magaziines. Just not something I would hang on my wall. 8.

The baby is almost too out of focus for my taste. I like the concept and I though I was really going to like the image after seeing the thumbnail, but in full size and detail the baby is a little too amorphous.

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." There might be a case to be made for bokeh on the highlit side of the baby, but it's marginal. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? I don't believe there is a relationship between the bokeh as defined and the foreground. To me this is just a shallow DOF shot.

A liitle over sharpened. Nice composition and color.
