So beautiful... I love the textures the shallow DOF creates.

This one is so very subtle in its qualities that I hope it isn't getting overlooked. Excellent use of shallow DOF, just enough to give that hint of background but not enough to overwhelm the subject. Very nice!

i like the use of bokeh and the repeating theme of the pods both in the foreground and the out of focus ones in the background

This is really lovely! You did such a fantastic job with the soft dreamy background and making your subject pop right off the page. Beautiful work!

I like the dof and the composition. I'm not convinced this pic is really enhanced by BW.

The foreground doesn't really stand out from the rest of the image enough for me.
