Japanese: boke aji, the "flavor of the blur."

Show us your Bokeh. From the camera or in post, it's the final look that counts.

Post until Monday noon GMT, 31 March 2025.

Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host a new challenge.

NOTE: This week's challenge winner will be decided by voting - See below.

Rules:

  • Camera: Any CAMERA is allowed (images from scanned film are also allowed);
  • Post only ONE photo;
  • Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered (meaning won competitions here, so no problem as of yet!);
  • Size: Maximum image size is 1600px on the long end. Minimum size is 800px;
  • Post-Processing: Do whatever you like, and the host/voters will decide if it works;
  • Title your image;
  • Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer per challenge. List camera model & lens used. Post brief EXIF data: ISO, shutter speed and aperture (when images are attached the EXIF will be added below the images automatically);
  • The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so;
  • Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks;
  • Commenting: No commenting or Likes during the challenge. After the winner is declared, discussion is encouraged;
  • Keep it clean, and both family and work safe;
  • Have lots of FUN;
  • This text is available in a sticky. Copy the text and paste it in the new thread.
Voting:
  • Once the challenge is closed by the host on Monday noon, anyone may cast their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
  • People who didn't enter a photograph may vote, too: 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point.
  • After the winner is declared ended, everyone is invited to comment / provide feedback about your vote choices!
Hosting:
  • The next challenge host is the winner of the previous challenge.
  • Once your win is announced, go to Games, Competitions and Challenges and choose "Post thread"
  • In the top (title) line, enter Weekend Task #X - Your Topic
  • Copy the sticky below, in the message area, and click "Post thread", at the bottom of the page.
  • Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, declare the contest closed and post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please.
  • If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.

Link to Sticky with template.

Time's up! Since Rob is not here yet (early where he is of course), I will close the competition for him.

Let's vote.

Name your #1, #2 and #3 choice for this week. Everybody can vote, whether they participated or not.
