I think that the blur on the bottom/close objects is a bit too much - it's sort of a barrier for the eye to get back into the rest of the picture. I'd be tempted to cop a bit of it out.
I like this a lot. Actually, it would work in 'Calendar', too. I recognise that you've set the focal point near the middle, but I'd have given a 10 if the front had been sharp, too. 9
