All of the users in this post get a badge!
All winners who wish to accept their prizes please contact me on steemit.chat so we can arrange shipping details.
The new theme will be:
Bokeh
Guest Judge: @melodyrussell
This has been requested several times since the start of the SPC and I have avoided it⦠but I need to give the people what they want :)
The bokeh effect should play a large part in the composition of the photograph but it cannot be the only visual element in the shot. In other words, bokeh in the background of the subject is great, out of focus christmas tree lights - not so much.
βthe visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens.β
The deadline for entries for SPC46 is July 20 0400 AM UTC. Winners will be announced on Friday July 21.

I would appreciate any help from the community in finding plagiarism where I might have missed it.
