Not sure that blur would work...have you thought about putting an entirely different background in via Photoshop/Gimp (or whatever else you may use)?

I really like the color effect on the banners, but the fuzzy tree really distracts me. Otherwise, this is an adventure.

Actually, I thought about to placing the car against a silver gradient backdrop like some kind of ad. I member of another forum place the car in a desert underneath some clouds. It was pretty nice looking.
Yeah I think I'm gonna just clone out the tree and put in a cloud or maybe just leave out the cloud and tree.

Sorry I don't like this one. Though the composition might be ok, it's not sharp and lacks a subject or topic. Is it a test shot?
S'ok, given my lack of talent/experience compared to the usual folks that post here, I was kind of expecting that. It was a rushed shot as I was about to cross the street walking home- I ended up liking the composition and lighting (despite shooting facing the sun). The subject, if I had taken more time to focus properly, would've been the rose the homeless person is selling on the side of the road.
I disagree. I think the lack of focus has a positive effect; it makes me study the picture and decypher the story.
But then again, I have very bad eyesight, so I'm accustomed to seeing things in poor focus. I don't really need it to be sharp to enjoy it.
Post Processing Critique
I posted this image from Antelope Canyon earlier this month:
That was pretty much straight out of the camera with minor white balance adjustments in Lightroom. I spent some more time with it last night but I'm mixed on whether or not I like the edited one better:
What do you think of new version? What would you have done differently?

Marking the 250th anniversary of the world's greatest drink:
Nice shot, great drink and a wonderful factory to go visit. Even better when you realise you get a free pint in the bar at the top. Wonderful view over Dublin.

This is very compelling - a great portrait with wonderful texture.

When I looked at this larger, it really made me want to look at it for a while. It's unusual, and I like the light, and the stylistic muted colors and tone, with the almost oversaturated green of the plants as a cool contrast. Also, all the 90 degree line intersections contrast in a very interesting way with the curved arch and the converging lines of the ceiling. Overall, a really nice image...!
Like it, except for the tires.
I like the higher detail in the background of the second shot, but prefer the bluer tone of the guy's skin in the first shot.
Many thanks!
It's a great space. The addition stands in stark contrast to the "old" building... But it's a juxtaposition that works. Phillip Johnson—an amazing icon of design—truly knew the line of balance. As far as the photo, I felt that the tones of muted nature were fitting to the architecture. The late 60s and 70s atmosphere lends itself to have this classic aura that said colors best represent. Furthermore, as you've mentioned, the linear geometry is pure and almost stylistic (the arch, the stacks, the ceiling treatment), great qualities if properly executed.
