crop, resize, flatten, USM.

This was taken on partly cloudy day right after the sun peeked out from behind clouds lighting the QB's face. I missed getting the ball in the frame but with the receiver entering the frame out of focus it adds to the story about where the unseen ball is going. No editing was done except for above.

Very well done, I gave this one a 7 and I really think the results are very under rated, the contrast of the QB being in focus and the receiver and defender being out of focus is really nice,

Really good image - i didn't get to vote, but I would have easily given this a 9 or 10 for well composed, excellent use of foreground blur and wonderful focus on the QB

Would be better if the subject of the shot was actually doing something. This photo just tells me that there's something interesting happening somewhere else, and we're missing it!

Nice shot, I would have loved to see the ball in the frame as well.

This would've been perfect if the ball were in the shot.

Not the type of shot I expect in a bokeh challenge, but I certainly see some (even the "circle of light" people should see it). Great stop-action.

Would have liked to see this before the pass was thrown. I really enjoyed the Skyline vs. Lakes game. Very exciting
