A bit like being blinded by a spotlight.

If your intention was purposeful very soft focus to convey the sense of darkness it probably will not work for most voters. It appears more or less out of focus. If the lamppost or tower is purposely off horizontal then it would be more effective if it had an even greater angle, otherwise it should be made perfectly horizontal. It is always good to try things out to se how they work. However, most viewers will likely find the composition and content of this image uninteresting.

This is a good idea. Fits the challenge IMO. I think in this case, the static, centered composition doesn't really do a lot for me, maybe using the rule of thirds in this case would strengthen the presentation. Not totally sure about the soft focus/blur here. Normally, I like it, but in this image, it might be just a little too much, seems to be kind of lacking some important detail, but maybe that's just me :-)

I would prefer to see this set to the side and not in the middle.

Just doesn't have the "wow" factor for me. Not enough depth or focus. I like the halo effect around the light though.
