Originally posted by pixelpig: If I was shooting it now, I would've gone for motion blur rather than lack of focus blur.

And that would be the right move. The colours would create a really cool image depending on the blur. This is your forte, so I'm sure you could pull it off.

I like the focus - just soft and glowy, not distractingly oof or anything. The colours are very pretty, especially as they pop against their complimentary background.
I think I share your sentiments about technical perfection, some times it's great, but it's not always necessary, sometimes not even desirable and definitely not the be all and end all of creating a pleasing image.

The light and colors are gorgeous and as Richard says, parts are in focus - it was swaying and the shifting focus reinforces that.

The yellow to orange gradient is attractive. Some parts are in focus, here and there. I like it fine.

LOL at Peter's comment! This has a great deal of energy - frenetic in a way.
