I love Bokeh - and it is a great technique to emphasize a subject by placing the subject in context in a specific environment. This is a key point for the photo you posted in the challenge.
Your subject was very dark and not tight in focus. The background was lush and inviting, but due to the darkness and muddy-ness of the subject, the image did not come off well.
Better illumination on the snow globe would help to show off the deer. Also, cleaning of the glass on the globe to remove the smudges (creating the muddy look) would help make it look sharper.
With the lens you used, you will end up with better Bokeh by separating the subject farther away from the background. If you look at my first entry ever, I used the 70-300mm lens and did a close up of some Ginko leaves and the background was 50 feet away - making the background image smooth as silk.
I liked the outtake shot you posted better than your entry.

| Well, i see a focused object a little dark and a non focused background. Maybe with more distance between the object and the christmas tree you would have a good Bokeh. Good luck! |

| Good subject for this challenge, maybe needs a little more light or a levels adjustment to make it stand out more. The bokeh on those tree ornaments is some of the prettiest I've seen yet! |
