duuuude this is sick! the blur, imo, makes the pictures look even better, cuz the dof looks shallower.

This is fantastic. The texture and light are perfect imo. The only thing that concerns me, and I understand the limitations of basic editing, are the white dots in the upper right hand corner. they upset the 'low key-ness' of the photo. in any case, a well deserved 8.

i was going to do the same thing but ran out of time
i must say, you executed it almost perfectly

the only minor complaint i would have is that the little part of the finger you can see is somewhat distracting
If i was in your position, I would either crop it to not include the finger at all, or have a larger portion of it visible

on the other hand, I absolutely love the shallow dof and the fact that you took the shot in a tilted fashion
clever
I don't have time to vote, but I truly hope you get at least top 3

cheers

I also knew it was yours because I recognized the background from your balcony photo.
