Nice selective focus, which works well for the challenge in this case - wonderful b/w contrasts too.

The most intriguing part of this image is the person in the foreground. My only problem is there is so much emphasis on the ferris wheel, that she is lost in the shadow. I would have cut the top half off to force viewer eyes to her - I'm assuming she is the missed focus subject of the image...the ferris wheel just demands too much attention. well seen though, and interesting choice. 6

Great photo; actually, the focus seems spot-on! Back to vote later.

This is interesting because I'm put in the awkward position of disagreeing with what you've chosen as the subject of the image the "Midway". Personally I don't see it as being any point of interest (it's pretty empty with almost no action)where the Ferris Wheel is far more interesting, between the two imho. It's a good shot and well processed so it should do well. Good Luck!

I avoided the Lensbaby for this one because I felt that since the lens is all about selective focus and because that act of focussing is (for me) the very essence of its use, its applicability for this challenge would seem a little diminished. -every unfocussed element becomes a choice.

However, the image is pretty good and I have scored according to that rather than favouring my own interpretation of the challenge. I think it's pretty high on the 'compelling' scale so I've offered a 6.

I love the melancholy feel of this one.

Tough one. Seems like you nailed the focus! I really like the image, so I think I'll pass on voting it "low". Cheers!
