Where is the bokeh in this Ric? It's beautiful image though
My apologies. When I looked up the definition of Bokeh on Google, this was the word for word definition "Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur in the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, particularly the way light is rendered. It is often associated with soft, circular highlights in the background and is achieved by using a wide aperture (low f-stop), a fast lens, and creating a large distance between the subject and the background. " I had assumed this photo met those requirements. Especially the last one with the distance between the subject and the background particularly in the center of the frame where the cliffs are fading into the distance. For me, that looks like I shallow depth of field. Now if Bokeh "balls" is what is required, please forgive me because I didn't realize that was required for this contest. Please feel free to remove my entries. Best of luck to everyone and much love.
"with super shallow depth of field and interesting use of bokeh." from contest description!
Once again, feel free to remove the photo.
Ric I'm on your side, the quotation above is from the contest announcement asking for shallow DOF and bokeh which as a photographic term only dates back to 1997.
Thank you Paul. I'm so sorry. I was in the middle of editing and thought it was someone else telling me the photo doesn't meet the requirements. My sincerest apologies. That's what I get for staring at a computer all day. Thank you so much Paul.
