Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” To put it simply, it’s the pleasing, aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph. The quality of summer light, in particular, lends an ethereal quality to bokeh photographs that isn’t seen anywhere else. You can add this effect in post-processing or use your skills to capture it with your manual settings. Good luck.

What they're saying about Zoner Photo Studio X:
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
