Congratulations on second place! This picture really stood out to me because of the complementary colors and the bokeh circles being distorted by the motion of the waves. The blue and orange colors work really well here, and the waves are very dreamy to look at. The only thing that made me not choose it for the winning photo is the blurry rock in the foreground, as it feels too distracting for me personally, but I still really love the photo.

This image has nice depth and layers to it with the colors and circle sizes. I like the abstract feel of the photo, and am not really sure at what the subject is, making me want to look at the image in more detail. Great job!

Congratulations on winning my contest! The fact that you took one object, the spider web, and showed lots of depth to it is what made me decide on choosing it as the winner. Everything about the image is circular, the water droplets, bokeh circles, and spider web, which creates a really nice theme. I like that one part of the web is in focus so that I can take a look at the details. Very well done!

Congratulations on third place! The composition of this photo is excellent, and the bokeh circles are nice and varied in size and shine, and work really well with the flower and water droplet that is in focus. I would have liked for the main subject to be more in focus, which is why I didn't choose it as the winning shot, but it is very nice to look at from afar.
