Seeing a lovely curve in this forum, an old image came to mind, with quite a different twist. Not usually working this way, I am curious to see how others see it.

Very nice. I like the "ethereal" feel to this.

I don't much care for it. Too much empty space for me. Perhaps if it was cropped more tightly, I would like it more.

Positive reaction; find it a pleasing visual experience; intriguing in some ways...

Purple not my favorite color! 😕

Not my thing but one thing noticeable.
The original pic was rectangular.
You can see the full shape of the rectangle against the purple background.

As has been mentioned it has a nice ethereal feel. The blur and the soft, muted color palette are working very well in conveying this meditative feeling. However, because of the pixelation the image falls apart. This issue disrupts the feeling of the image.

It could be rather interesting in an alternative process like Gum Bichromate with a similar palette. It would push its ethereal nature even further.

Thinking in terms of one strolling through a gallery, this has the impact of the “Woah! What...? How....” sort. It is thus thereby an engaging / interesting image...and likely, if appropriately matted and framed would generate sales (original and prints).

I very much like the technique of "shooting through" to achieve a veil of color that frames the subject. However, I think at least part of the subject needs to be in focus. The noisy quality of this detracts from the overall soft feel of it.
