Read the contest thread - that's what 2/3 of it was about. Everyone had very different ideas of what bokeh was.

There are a lot of great photos - it's just that many entries could have been disqualified if you weren't being lenient about following the rules.

But the first rule is that the subject is open to interpretation as long as it falls within AZ guidelines.

Who am I to judge an artiste's interpretation?

Besides, I don't know how to be that mean...Unless striped-balls or Scottman entered. Then I'd manage.

I retract my previous statement. You said that you'd like the focus to be on the out of focus area, but that wasn't a rule.

P.S. Thanks for the vote, at least I didn't end with 0.

I know I suck. I told myself I couldn't submit anything old. It was supposed to make me go out & shoot, but it didn't work.
