I really like it Steve. Maybe just alittle off of the left side would even be better.

Nice dof, and I like the OOF purple washes. I agree with a crop from the left.

Steve:

Good idea and execution. As mentioned by others, the comp is a too centered and placing the bloom off center will create a little tension and interest in the frame.

I almost always agree with Gary, but I think cropping it from the left will just center the subject even more. I like the comp as is. I find the image nicely balanced with good use of wash.

Steve, I love the purple colors throughout the image. I agree that maybe a small crop off the left would make this stronger,Well done!!.
