Interesting and artistic. I do wish the couple by the river was just slightly more in focus, though not entirely in focus. There's a lot of mystery, but I think a slightly longer DOF would lend even more mystery to this. 7.
Wow. Excellent. So easy to dismiss at first glance, but so many delights waiting if you're willing to look further. Composition, by going down and left of the third intersection, forces the viewer into the blurred area, daring them to look. I'm glad I did, it took so long for the couple to come "clearly" into view. Different and moving.
There is too much open space here, I actually think it would look better with the flower blurred and the people in focus. The flower just isn't a big enough part of this picture.
this is really cute.
the flower is in really good focus compared to the extremely blurred background. and i like how you can still tell what the blurred image is.
but i wish the flower was a little bigger. i think it would add more to this photo.
