The point of the exercise was to use a cut mask (in this case a piece of cardboard with the DPC ribbon image as a cut out) to shoot through. The result of shooting through a cutout is that the "ooey gooey" of the normal soft circles of bokeh which is imparted by the camera lens' opening, is changed into whatever the cutout shape is. In this case the red, yellow, and blue lights would be normal soft circular bokeh if not for the mask.

I'm going to assume that I can give you the unvarnished gut reaction without making you mad at me right...

You camera is slightly tilted to the left. At least it appears that way to me. Minor adjustment to fix.

What is your aperture at? I think it needs to go lower so the background is more "dreamy" per say. Can you re-shoot? If you re-shoot the void area in the middle left and right needs more "ribbons" (lol)

Right now it looks like some fog is in the BG not Bokeh. At least to me...that is why I'd try to re-shoot and get more of an oeeey goooey look going. Your not quite there IMO.
