Hey all
We have had a marvellous April contest to date. The images have been awe inspiring. Based on "bokeh, the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" the glorious photography of an exceptionally talented group of DUers has been a blessing in a time of uncertainty. Managing this contest has certainly lifted my spirits.
The poll will stay open for 72 hours and I will be announcing the winner shortly thereafter.
We have 10 entries in the final this month as on one thread we had a tie for third place. We had 636 votes in total and thank you to everyone who turned out to vote in the first round. You have chosen the following pictures for the final round. So without further ado
Naptime

April Showers

(9,685 posts)The hardest part for me is my decision not to vote cause I wanted to be completely impartial. There have been some really stunning entries.

planetc
(7,847 posts)vote for all of them. Ranked voting isn't really the solution here. Could we all write a short essay on as many as we want?

Stay safe.
