I don't normally like blurred photos, even when it's intentional. I'll make an exception here. One thing I particularly like is the way that the change in background colour from black to white leads down through the hairline of the lady, creating a strong diagonal.
Very artistic! I like it. 8 with possible bump. Usually I'd mind the hot spot, but I'm able to look past it in this shot. I like how you can still get enough information out of the shot with the blur. Good work! :)
