Bokeh is described as being "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Essentially, it's an aesthetic quality whereby parts of a photo are out of focus and blurred, and can be achieved by using a shallow focus to narrow the depth of field and create prominent, out of focus regions within the image. The effect is pleasing and can add an interesting and creative twist to an everyday scene. Give it a go in this limited entries contest...

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.
