*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An image with impact that meets the challenge

Your choice of a wide aperture has enabled you to blur the background into soft focus thus meeting the challenge. The aperture has also enhanced the image by creating some quite interesting bokeh into the highlights. The ice crystals have a jewel like appearance in the bright sunlight which gives your image more impact.

I know the challenge is blur and you may have deliberately created some foreground blur but it doesn't really work for me, I think it would have been more effective to get the front sharp and as a result introduce even more blur into the background. Composition wise I like the implied diagonal of the ice and again I think you could have improved it by bringing it further to the lower right, I don't think cropping some of the front pine leaves would have hurt.

I would have preferred it if the chromatic aberrations had been given some attention during the processing, the colours are a little distracting. The two lumps of brown are a bit discordant to the image overall.

Its a shame you didn't get any comments I hope this helps, Sid
