 Cropped, and gothic grunge for "pop", that's it. 90 minutes just to check in at Oakland's airport, Southwest, after the edict about carrying on any liquids forced everyone to check at least one bag. This time didn't include the TSA screening. Missed my flight and so did half of the others in line. At least. So I amused myself by snapping a few shots, up on a bench, easy to do the major foreground blurring in the camera with the 70-200mm.

too busy for my taste, looks like a snapshot with no primary subject

Not really sure what to focus on - the first thing I saw was the baggage claim sign. May be more effective to put more focus on one subject with a crowd of others visible in the background - especially the girl in the very front. Good idea, though!

Not a subject for soft focus, I am afraid.
