I'm not sure if the background here really is bokeh, but I'm no expert. I do know that I really like the photo if it was cropped below the red spout...just showing the water against the background. To me, that makes it a wow abstract style shot. Neat colors.

Not a bad shot but I donĂ¢€™t see the bokeh effect, the blur background should have a circular pattern to it.

Interesting shot. Holds my interest longer than some others. May have tried to augment the water with a splashback or an arc out of a hose.

I feel as though the spout is crooked and its bothering me- top needs to be tilted to the right.

A good idea and nice title too. Water is all very nice. Just that the leaf bokeh is not quite vibrant enough. But given Basic rules it is hard to make it better. My only suggestion would have been to have the water flow in front of some backlit ferns. ferns give a rather nice green light and also provide a complex bokeh, depending on the lens...
