Close-Up or Macro Bokeh

This is one mesmerizing image that narrowly missed the first spot. The shot is perfectly timed and is artistic. In my opinion, its not easy to frame a shot like this without lot of dedication, skills and patience. Beautifully captured. Thank you for your contribution in my contest and congratulations.

Here is the winning image. Great work. I think I don't need to review this as it is extensively reviewed by experts in previous contests. Briefly, the bokeh is special, creative, and is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for your contribution in my contest and congratulations.

Outstanding image . Excellent use of depth of field. The transition from the water-to-bokeh balls is the highlight here. The blurred pink flowers in the background also adds interest to the image. One of the best images in this contest. Thank you for your contribution in my contest and congratulations.

This is a dramatic dark macro. The DOF helps to draw your eye to the finely focused water drop. In total, the image has limited dark color palette but excels in drawing the viewers attention. An elite dark macro photography! Thank you for your contribution in my contest and congratulations.

The colors are absolutely stunning. The image has a blend of turquoise, green and white color palette . The turquoise background seem to compliment the bright green subject, while the ice deposits and bokeh (both in white) gently enhance the visibility of the brown branch. Excellent color grading. Thank you for your contribution in my contest and congratulations.
