I do like this a lot!! I just wish it was in focus in front and faded with the dof to the back of the image. Great idea.

I really like this perspective but I wish there were more of the texture in focus. Overall though, very nice. The fire hydrant in the background is a nice touch.

The focus is very distracting.

My eyes are playing tricks on me. It seems as if the lines are moving around. I like the concept, but, maybe not so much out of focus to emphasize the in-focus.

I would like to see a large area in focus.

Here the camera angle and the shallow DOF tend to disguise the texture of the stones. I do like the red hydrant, maybe a framing from higher that still include the hydrant but shows more of the top of the stones?

I really like the point of focus in this shot. And plenty of texture too!
