 I was actually trying to capture a picture of a bee and focused on the flower that the bee was on but he flew away and I decided to snap the shot anyway. I like the idea of having the foreground blurry and the depth of field very limited. All I did in post processing was adjust the saturation, levels, and curves.

Vivid and intoxicating. A wonderful, energetic shot, though perhaps suffering a bit from being slightly too contrasty resulting in blown highlights.

Nice colorful blur. Seems to be maybe a little too much empty space on the left.

At first I was thinking "out of focus, bad picture" but after looking at it I really like the busyness of the photo and the creative focus point. Cool photo - 8

I gave this a 6. Maybe I'd score it lower, but I like the attempt at a unique perspective here.

Who, where, what??? Somebody/something in there?

I like the concept. The foreground bokeh seems too strong with that large red block in the upper area. A little repositioning for another POV may have worked better. Still using foreground bokeh, but not with such a large blotch.

A beautiful "Blurry Mess" image that works so well with the warm tones. 10

In my opinion there is not enough in focus.
