This strikes me as a test image to see how the lensbaby works, as opposed to a planned, competition-level image. When we were doing the blur side challenge, a regular question was "why blur?" Having such a small area in focus certainly drives my eye to the sharp part, but once there, I find nothing to hold my interest. Now, if there had been someone in the window, or something falling to the ground, or a shaft of light, or a color, or something, that would've been different.
When the "I Bought it on eBay" challenge ends tomorrow night, look at my image. It has some similarities, but also some differenecs, so and see why you think the score is so much higher. Like your shot, some commenters have said they don't like the selective focus, but I have more who like where I drew their attention. |

| I find your blur to be distracting and your focal point to be pointless. I thikn you have a lot to work with here and could try this again from a better angle. The lighting is good and the colour is fine, I just feel that this will not appeal to many in this challenge becaues it lacks so many things that make an image show well in challenges. |

| The blur here looks a bit unnatural. If the blur was added in pp I would prefer it to be more consistent or not at all. |

| Lensbaby? Don't think it works here =( I think that converting it to black and white would've given a different mood to the shot? Best of luck! |

| Hmm, that's neat... I'll be curious to see how this shot with that focal plane... tilt-shift? |

| I think this would look better if everything was in focus. I especially don't think that the little bit that is in focus should be in the center of the picture, that isn't the most interesting part. |
