We absolutely loved this bokeh effect! What a great result!

It's like an abstracted piece of art! Yet, if you carefully look closely you will see its the back fo a car possible at a traffic light waiting for the green light.

The red colour, coming from the stops lights of the car, the yellow colour, coming from the paint of the car and the rain effect, coming from a raining evening, create this wonderful bokeh effect! Its a piece of art! It deserves to be printed, framed it and put it on a wall. Do it!

Congratulation for being the Winner!! Your picture is outstanding!

Out of X pictures, yours really stand out! You have successfully combined the bokeh effect with photojournalism. What a great mix!

The topic is powerful. We don't know if its a real event, a street fight or its a scene from a movie. The ambiguity of it is captivating!

The dark tone, the night shooting, the injured caught on the subject and the people watching it (on bokeh effect) makes this picture to deserve the 1st price!

Congratulation again!

Congratulations on being one of the few pictures commended!

Love is in the air! And we can feel it thanks to your bokeh effect!

We can see it's on a bridge above a river. The cold feeling coming from the predominantly blue colour (the river, the sky, the metal) is overcome by the warm of the padlocks purpose and meaning; love!

The perfect spots for bokeh shots are urban locations like streets, where lights from buildings and streetlights can provide the interesting visual components that are needed for your out-of-focus background. This is an excellent technique to play with and master, and can really elevate your street photography shots.
