A good use of unfocus to accentuate form, color, contrast. I find myself wanting more of the upper left side - I like the glow of the yellow there.

Beautiful bokeh! It looks like a painting! I love the colors! The only downfall I see is that it doesn’t seem to fully fit “missed focus” but more abstract OOF. In my opinion, “missed focus” is just that – missed, not intentional OOF. But there seems to be quite a few differing views on this while looking through the challenge entries. So besides that, this is a beautiful photo!!! Great job!

The building looks like it presents a lot of photographic opportunities beyond this challenge. I suppose the brisk wind expalins why the seats were empty. The grouping of chairs makes the two on the right seem disconnected from the others, but I'm not sure whether a change in positon or just moving the chairs closer in would work any better.

The house and flag in the background seem to overshadow the 9 chairs. A shallower focus or higher angle on the chairs (shooting more down at them from a step ladder maybe) might have helped isolate them more.

As it is now my eye is always drawn to the flag and the main subjects are an afterthought.
