War memorial in the hamlet Weddern, Kirchspiel, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
@Yann: This is called subject bokeh, so that's reverse blurred part is a subject (not background). It's one of bokeh's technique. Here you are. But I think this bokeh is too much and the subject is too small in this frame :) --Laitche (talk) 01:21, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
However, the hamlet is also the subject in this case... --Laitche (talk) 10:36, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Looks interesting, XRay. --Tremonist (talk) 12:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose That just doesn't work for me. Kruusamägi (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I like the general idea as well as the content-wise contrast created through the battle helmet in front and what appears to be an angel in the back. But for some reason, it doesn't really work for me as an image yet, and I'm not even sure why. Here are some thoughts: 1) Maybe a better separation between the helmet and the statue would help. DOF does a good job here, but they are still two objects of the same grey touching each other. Maybe move the camera a bit to the left to get some greenery between them? 2) As I think that the statue is an important element of this composition, it might be nice if it were a little bit sharper. 3) That patch of sky in the corner is a bit distracting, especially the two blobs of bokeh right in the face of the statue. The bokeh is pretty busy in general, maybe try again on an overcast day so you get less highlight blobs? 4) This might actually be one of those cases where B&W works better than color.
Again: these are just some ideas, which may or may not work if you've got a chance to re-shoot the scene. I think it would be worth a try, as I like the idea. --El Grafo (talk) 07:36, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've made a decision before nominating this image and it wasn't easy. I'm not sure, may be the black and white image is better. Here is the other image which El Grafo said (and linked). Thanks for your good ideas, El Grafo. --XRay talk 10:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
