I really liked this one, and am shocked that it did not do better. I was one of the 15 sevens. Perhaps pics that lean more towards the imagination, or ones that are intended to elicit emotion don't work well in some competitions. I think the focus/blur is perfect for this fantasy style pic.
I'm sorry to say this, but I find this painful. I think you were trying to go for a soft focus look (which I quite like at times), but this has gone too far. Hopefully you still have the orginal and you can re-do it - perhaps someone could even help you with it if you'd like.
Guess you were going for a dream like quality. It might have worked better either less blurred or less bright, I think. Not sure It's a good choice of background except may for the handrail, but the white is too bright for me?....not sure. It is different and I do appreciate the attempt.
Billy Idol :) Great composition and location ... I wish something was in focus though ... and it doesn't have to be the bride and groom that I think you have OOF deliberately.
Hmmm...I don't know what note to put on this picture...There's no point in focus but it doesn't block the lecture of the picture: everybody understand what it is...
and I like the colors too...It's really not easy. I would say a 6...
