Had so much fun with this challenge, only to arrive home from the country, having missed yesterdays deadline, shot the picture on Saturday...wish I had wireless for those mountaion retreats.....
I would have probably given this one a score of 3 or 4 if you posted it as is. The blurring attempt is quickly done to make the other toe and the rest of the foot fade out or not be noticed and the colors seem a bit dull overall. The cropping and composition seems off a bit as well, maybe a tighter crop on the top and right side to cut out the distractions rather than trying to blur them out.
