Simple, elegant, nicely composed, refreshing subject. Speaks to me of winter. Well done.

Simple and pretty. Good use of negative space. I can see this as really pretty notepaper. :-)

i like the idea behind the composition, but am not bowled over by the execution. while i like the general organization of the image, i don't like how the pine needles are melting into the background. the bokeh is fine, but i think your image would have been stronger if there was a bit more focus on the needles.

Back for a second look to bump up from 6 to 7. The whispy pine needles make a clever visual and focus bridge between the subject pine cone and the presumably snowy background scene. That's a nice touch. So 7. No ... it's even better than that; 8.

Beautiful shot. I would have cropped the bottom or right side a bit to make it less sqaure.

A beauty, one of the best so far.

Excellent idea to place the pine cone in the upper left corner. This allows us to really soak in the soft background. The image has a peaceful and dreamy effect. Perfect use of bokeh.

Lovely example of bokeh. I really like the whispy effect of the pine needles.

The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Check. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Check. Nicely done. This looks like it belongs on Christmas stationery.
