Borkeh does not make a photo good. Borkeh is not the central subject and should not be treated as one. While it is true that out of focus sections of an image contribute to the mood and feeling of the piece, the majority of your effort is put into background effects, floating spheres, swirly flowers and portraits of the back of people's heads. A single technique yields a single expression. The same goes for contrast. Examine the work of old masters of photography. Subtle photos deserve subtle treatment. Messing up the white balance rarely makes an image work well. Correct color that has vibrance or saturation tweaks is always better than incorrect white balance. The images posted on this board are gimmicky at best, if there are images posted at all. You all talk more about gear that actual images. You are more focused on "putting lipstick on a pig" with photoshop than taking a good pictures in the first place. I suggest you heed what I am saying if you ever want to make it somewhere in the realm of professional photography. You can use this thread to discuss what I am saying or post some of your favorite professionals work.
