A little too much of the red stuff. Some would be ok, but with it dominating like this, it's distracting.

I like the concept here, but find the red very in my face and overpowering of the buddha.

I would have liked to see more of the buddha and less of the foreground. The foreground dominates this image

Sorry, but I don't like the red, blue and green blurs across the front of this shot. It looks artificial.

Out of focus foreground is really distracting

I like the idea of your image. For me, there is a bit too much of the out of focus red in the front, and I find my eyes keep getting drawn back to the foreground, and away from the more interesting Buddha statue.

I like the focus on the statue as well as the shallow dof. The flowers in the foreground are a bit distracting and overbearing.

Nice idea, but, for me, there's too much out of focus in the foreground. It might have been more effective with less and still had the depth of field effect.

I love how the leaves(?) in the forground are blurred, leaving just enough space for us to see the statue. Really nice shot!

The foreground does lead the viewer to the subject but is a little too out of focus which makes it a bit distracting.

I really like this picture. I also recognize it as the sort of thing that (unfortunately) tends to do poorly on DPC. As I wish to do all I can to offset the people who underscore this, I shall give it a 10
