Very cool, like I'm reflecting while overlooking the city as it just smoothly fades out of focus and adds to the ambiance of the memory, I like.

nice attempt, but you need something to be in focus in this image for it to be visually appealing

It may be a personal choice, but I prefer something in focus as a subject. Maybe a glass of wine on a railing or something.

Bokeh... out-of-focus background often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject. Lacks an in-focus primary subject...

Yeah... its bokeh, but I would like to see something in focus in the foreground, hence the background enhancing the image... On its own I feel it just looks like an out of focus shot.

This would work well with an in-focus subject.

yeeessssss, but. Generally the photo needs an anchor, something should be in focus to contrast and enhance the bokeh
