The sky was clouding over, which made this shot possible. My son is having way too much fun to pose. This shot really captures him...his little sister just finished jumping on him, and licking his head. He is killing himself...I love this shot, but hey I am his Dad. A great way to spend Father's Day!

The problem with being self-taught in photography...I simply don't know the terminology. No bokeh here...but I did think the background was blurred and helped by making the subject stand out more...

Calc, curves, contrast, calc, crop, rotate, LAB smart sharp, added border, save for web.

Great face! And the composition's wonderful.

Nitpick: I found the sort-of-there-sort-of-not horizon distracting.

Great shot, great expression! May not be the best fit for the challenge, but a very good picture.

Great capture, nice focus and composition...but the background is not enhanceing the subject. This might have worked better as a color image for a bokeh challenge. Then we could have seen the play between say the color of the water and the color of his eyes if they were blue or green. Make sense?

Really nice crisp portrait - so love the expression. The bokeh part is somewhat lacking.

Thi is a charming photo. A long-lasting lovely mmomento. Handsome young man as well. The background bokeh is a bit limited though. 7.

I hope you've put this in a frame somewhere. It's a wonderful, fun capture of this young fella. I'm hard pressed to find any bokeh in this shot however. Don't worry...not voting, just browsing. ;^) Good luck.

Great picture, but I'm voting it low because I don't think it really fits the challenge.

The emotion is wonderful,.. and I really love the black and white here. Absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint would be that his eyes are a bit dark.

I really can't see that this has any "Bokeh" in it......

Meets challenge very well: "... take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background." Nice! Good modelling as well
