The dodgy dof/blur destroys this shot. I see the gold following through, but I cant get past the blur

this one has a lot of colour, but not one that really jumps out. Did you do a lot of blurring to the background?

I don't get this at all. For one, the blur filter on the background is totally over the top and distracting.

Renaissance Festival...?? I've been to a few of these, they are great fun! The color thread at first glance seems on of varying color not constant color. The flesh tones of the faces is a constant and could be a tread, but a bit obscure... There is some repeat of the gold color, but only goes back 3 places in the line. A very nice image overall, good quality.

I dunno, this has so many colors... I guess it is the gold that is the thread? pretty dresses.

wierd

No, this is just not right to me eye. I don't like the weird processing with the blurred background.

Very colorful, but I'm afraid the photoshopped in depth of field just doesn't work for me.

Not only is this colorful, it is interesting!

Some great colours in this photo! I'm guessing the background blur is a manipulation? I find it distracting and a little too artificial looking.
