 I do not have real high hopes for this photo. Even though the bokeh is beautiful, the obvious use of flash is going to sink this one. Unfortunately in basic editing there was not much I could do about that. Prediction: 5.5

Well, obviously it outperformed my prediction. Thanks for all the great comments and votes. :) Goes to show you..with dpc you can just never tell. lol

I really like this, Ernie! This is to me a stellar example of the concept of Bokeh. Obvious intent and good execution. Well done! 'Grats on the Top 10!

WOW! OK I've seen one shot that I predicted a ribbon for. This is one of the best bokeh shots I've ever seen! We're into winter here. I envy you the scenery and I also predict a blue ribbon!

This is lovely bokeh. I like the color, and composition. The background enhances the subject nicely.
