@Dean_Gretsch you know I love your creativity , but I'm just not feeling this one. Its like the OOF is overpowering the rings, and the colors are so close that the focal point is getting lost in a sea of brown. Did you try this as a B&W?

Thank you for your honest opinion. I think I did do a conversion, but liked the color better. After your question though, I did this to see if you like it better:

Actually I do. There's just enough contrast in the in focus, that the OOF doesnt overpower it.

As in all opinions on creativity my comments are never meant to mean that your direction was wrong, just a difference in the way we see things!

As Popeye said, " We likes what we likes " and we all have different approaches. I left the tones and edits the same as the color and only converted it in PS.
