if you were trying to isolate your subject, you could have accomplished that without going so heavy handed on the editing, it really just makes you look at the hard edges where the blur starts
I have two problems with this, one conceptual and the other technical. Technically, the blur is clumsily applied and this works against you. Conceptually, your model doesn't fit the concept "Uptown Girl" at all. She's in JEANS! Uptown girls have money, they dress in style, they wear jewelry, they DO LUNCH :-) Sofor me this is missing the target...
