aptly titled... you have a lot of blur, but i don't think it is really enhancing your image. when i'm viewing images in the context of a technique, i'm not just looking for technique, but whether or not i would want to hang the image on my wall. here, i think you have a subject with wall-hanging potential, but not the way you have presented it here.

Yes it is, but I don't think that "mostly blurry" is the point of this challenge. Have a look at the entry called "the seed". Cheers. 5.

P.S. I mean the all-green one, featuring a seed head & diagonal blades of grass (there's another one called "Seed". Cheers!

Little too much "clutter" in this shot. Your out of focus foreground is overpowering.

i think the blurred violet flower in the foreground rahter is bothersome.

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 do see that here. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? The combination of flowers and berries do make for a colorful image, but to my eye the frame looks crammed full and contrived. I'd prefer to see more simplicity. So in that respect, I don't feel that any element here enhances another, they just distract from one another.
