Greetings from the Critique Club!
I'm sorry to say I don't particularly care for this photo. Interesting idea, but I think the stars need to be much smaller and more artfully arranged for it to work. And they need to either be sharp or very soft. The paper burrs from your filter show up plainly here, and are distracting.
(A variation might be to photograph the eyes from the front, with some star-shaped lights reflected in them.)
You've probably already figured out from the other comments that your method (and thus the fact that this was real bokeh) wasn't apparent from viewing the photo. I don't think there is much that can be done about that... |

| I don't consider this bokeh. To me, neither the head or stars are blurred. I find the stars distracting, actually. |

| If you could have made those stars more out of focus it would have been better. They are a little distracting from your subject the way they are. |

| Had to take a second, even a third look at this image to see the stars were far off in the distance. Nice bokeh.... |

Here's the way I see it; "bokeh", technically, is an out-of-focus artefact created by spherical lens distortions. Artistically, it's a concept of interplay between out-of-focus and sharp-focus elements in a composition.
For me, your image does not meet the terms of the challenge especially well, because everything in it is realtively sharp, and there's no subject/ground interaction at all. |
