I think this may work well poster-sized on a wall where there's more space to let it... integrate? The blur would work well then, but it's just a little overpowering at this close range.

Hmmm,,,I guess I'm not really surprised, but a little disappointed this shot ended up so low in the ranking. I wouldn't expect it to be embraced enough to end up at the top of the field, but it bums me out to see it soooo un-embraced :-) (if you know what I'm trying to mean)
Don't get me wrong here, I'm certainly not trying to put down the voters as a whole, I firmly believe in people's opinions, and that everyone's opinion is a valid one. It just seems like sometimes, there is this lemming like hold on the masses to quickly pass by anything not following the mainstream. Or maybe I'm crazy and a hopeless romantic with an almost rebellious quirky taste for the unorthodox :-P

I still say that upon a deeper study of this shot, it seems to me that the fact that it is not 'in focus' actually contributes to the shot, and what it is about, the colors, the forms, the feel of it as a whole. I applaud you for being brave and confident enough to display this peice for the scrutiny of the masses. Don't be discouraged, most of my stuff is only 'liked' by little pockets of people, and that actually quite pleases me.

Anyways, I like the shot. Well done, and thank-you :-)

I see what you where going for but I think its way too out of focus a bit harsh on the eyes... maybe if the yellow was not there

I have herd many people said it is difficult to get a good photo with everything out of focus, but I think this is one of the exceptions. I like it. Hope it is doing well. 7

The idea is to make it abstract by taking it more closely than we normally look, not to make it too out of focus to recognise. Nice collours, but...

I guess I like more focus even if this an abstract.
