used an extension tube to make sure it was as out of focus as possible. processing was just a little curves to up contrast slightly and brighten slightly.

I can't believe I am the only one who gave you a 10... It was my attempt to thwart a brown =)

You are just so amazingly creative. I still like this - even for polka dots. And I gave it a 7 btw.

Team suck is really helping me to appreciate the more bizarre picts. You had me staring at this one for quite awhile, trying to figure out just what I thought of it!

I found this image to be one of the most intellectual of the challenge. Creating the dots in an unconventional manner is something that almost no one else thought to do. Props to you and this picture.

I can't really see these as polka dots because of all the intersecting lines and the lack of roundness. Nice impressionism (it's impressionism, right?), though the right side is a bit too sharp.

why so out of focus?.....doesn't add anything for me

One of the best looking out-of-focus photos I've seen here. For the challenge...well, you'll probably still out-do my entry...

IMO these needed to be rounder rather than elongated

Doesn't strike me as fitting my idea of polka dots, and the image itself is just not grabbing my attention either. Sorry. Have to credit you for an OOTB effort, however.

I love the take on the theme but I am also trying to decide whether there should be something in focus here because I never trust my own instincts and I like it like this ... good luck.

For rose moles all in stipple upon trout that swim, fresh firecoal chestnut falls, finches' wings...

I was actually hoping to encounter a trout in this challenge :-) I quite like this, however.
