Well, I'm not even sure this counts as bokeh, but I like the image and I'm putting it in anyway, so there!
I had two alternative photos that represented bokeh for sure, light circles and all, but they were both of pretty boring subject matter, so here's hoping for appeal instead of a technically correct interpretation of bokeh
I'm not expecting a good score, especially since there are 367 entries, hmmm, but no good ideas for 30sec exposure, darn cuz there's only 141 there so far
well, I didn't really like anything that I came up with, but I felt the need to enter anyway, lol |

I would have voted this a 5, so I think your score was pretty much on target.
The leaf's shape is interesting, its placement is good, and I think you did a nice job of focusing on it.
My two suggestions reflect what I'm trying to remember at the moment:
1) Watch out for the busy background. That stem going low left to upper right really takes my eye away from the focused leaf.
2) Low contrast between subject and background. Same leaf, but in red or yellow, would have really made it pop out. I'm not saying you could've found such a leaf, but I'd be curious how it'd look now if you tried it in post-processing. |

| Lovely sikly greens and tonality! Placement and composition seems a little off balance. Rather overly busy on the left clashing with the main subject and almost empty on the right. Light's slightly harsh on the subject too. |

| Really pretty. I like the shine on the leaf to detail all of the veins. I wish there were a hint of another color in the backgorund, but the monochromatic green theme has some merit as well. Nice focus and I like the softened background. Good effort. 8 |

| Nice edge detail and contrast between shiny/in focus and dull/out of focus greens. |
