Not very blurry -- at least, not the foreground. Nice photo though. The blues are rich.

dnmc- I'll elaborate. The subject is in sharp focus and only the background is blurred or out of focus. The blur should be the main element in the composition for this challenge imo.

abstract, yes, but blur, no. This is oof, blur means something is moving.

agreed the background is bizarre and out of focus,but the foreground is in too much focus for a blurry mess topic to me.

Even though the background is blurry, it's not much of a mess in my opinion...

Personally don't feel this was entirely in the spirit of blurry mess

I'm struggling a bit with this one. The background is pleasantly blurry but the subject is definitely not blurry, or chaotic, or disorganized, or even messy. It's like the foreground and background belong to two different images (which fact makes the image discordant ... I guess that could be interpreted as a form of chaos). This just isn't as thoroughly chaotic as some others I've seen.

Very nice photo. I'm not sure I'd consider it a blurry mess.
