Hand held shot, resize, rename, submit
After voting: the bokeh face is in the lower left side and has about the same clarity as the 'man in the moon'.

Thought it was a cute smile. I like the colors.

Critique Club feedback -

I think with the challenge being to have bokeh enhance your subject, entering a photo with no subject at all is sort of missing the point.

Consider always submitting shots at the full dimensions allowed by the challenge. I think I might actually like this abstract, but it is so small I can't really digest it.

call me a nut, but all I see in this image is blur, and can't really tell what it is supposed to be.

There is so much bokeh here I am barely able to make see the outline of a face and find that the Image itself could have stood to have even a little something more in focus. On the upside if you stare at it long enough the screen starts to move and the face seems to smile a bit.

What is this? All I see is a redish and a greyish blob/blur.

I feel like I'm missing something here...I have a feeling it'll hit me after you explain it after the challenge. but right now I don't see bokeh...I see it as a blurry photo.

Needs a subject. The contrast between the out-of-focus bokeh and a sharply focused subject is what makes a great photo. (IMHO)
