I see this fost-focusing technique as a way of peeling the meanings and interpretations from a photo to reach to the image. See, for example, in "archetype", all the information about the building is removed, and all I get to see is the shape and geometry, which is enough for a pleasant experience, it's a nice new way at looking at the interaction of the building with the space (although, in this particular case, the space is the sky).
Not here. In this case, this photo, I think, is a failure. I can't see anything interesting, pleasant, or engaging in the shape, colour, or even message, that will make this photo become an image. Too little thought and passion and imagination has gone into producing this thing, hence it offers too little.
I leave the door open, and go to look if I am suffering from hyperopia.
Good on you for a different approach. We normally like to see eye's sharp. The title is naturally apt for the image and the OOF here is just at the right level. Colours are striking. Perhaps the only distraction for me is the highlights around the tear duct area.
