I really love this idea - especially with the bokeh background. My preference is to see the leaf pop out from the background more. Maybe some boost in contrast? Right now, the color seems as muted as the background so it all kind of blends together.

Not a very interesting picture, cropping it would have been better.

This is pretty, I would have tried to make the greens stand out a little more

This is a great (original) effect. The green leaf could have been a bit more in focus.

Out of focus and very dull shot overall..

I can see that you're trying to use DOF to isolate your subject but with all the "clutter", even out of focus, it's hard to focus on the plant.

this could be a lot better if that light background was not so distracting.

The bokeh overpowers the plant.

Closer... I wish it was closer. Lovely reflections. They make heart shape. The background looks almost silver. The leave however is overburdened by the reflections, that's why the first thought was to come closer :)

Sorry, this is bokeh not dappled light. Didn't vote.
