Nothing is really totally out of focus or in focus. Also the white at top and bottom are distracting.

The challenge was to take a photo whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background, but here the hands arent really enhanced by the background since there really isnt much background at all. Also, the photo is blurry...esp the cross at the front which should probably be very crisp and prominent isnt so.

I honestly don't see where this fits in the challenge. Bokeh refers to the aestheic qualities of the blur of the background, and I really don't even see a background...

Once again it is hard to see any "Bokeh"...

Nice idea but needs more distance in the background to get the bokeh.

Blurry, ugly. Sorry but this is way below average.

Cluttered foreground against a background that does little or nothing to improve the whole (and that was the point of the challenge). There is, as I'm sure you know, a work of art that depicts two hands in prayer and which is reproduced in 2 and 3 dimensions all over the place. It's a million times simpler and a million times more effective.

The whole image is out of focus.

I am unable to see the effect of bokeh in this shot. The subject is to straight on and tight in the frame for a bokeh effect.

It's a great concept that needs a slightly different composition to show, at least, some of area behind the hands, like the archway of a cathedral, all buttery smoothed via bokeh.

I don't see a lot of "bokeh"
