 this spider dropped out of a plant in the bathroom and puffed up while i was trying to wash my hands.

bokeh might not be obvious. but the BG is the bathroom mirror and a wall cabinet, about 12 inches behind the spider...

i think it is a 'thin legged wolf spider'

Hey Tim. That's a nice shot. Glad you left details. I was curious how you got this angle. Thought at first glance the spider was on glass.

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

Nice focus for the photo, better if closest legs were not out of focus. Is the background really bokeh?

Wonderful details and composition but the bokeh just isn't there. The DOF is perfect but not what is needed for the challenge. 6 still.

Clean composition, after all the rubbish here this was very nice :)
I like this very much, and the bokeh is simple but works very very well.

The gradient of the BG creates interest and helps make this a very good image.
