Beautiful!  It's just nebulous enough that it's very interesting to look at.  I
can see where some dramatic lighting and bokeh could look very nice.

Shots like this one need only one word as a comment:

*WOW*!

Nice, but... too much focal blur for my taste... in fact, there remains very 
little to focus on  ;-)  Imo, focal blur should be used to separate the 
object from the background, not to blur the object itself.

Yes. I was going for giving a hint of scale, since usually an image of 
something will have a thinner DOF depending on scale.

Don't listen to Tom - I think the DOF was perfect ;-)

  IMO the image would lose most of its appeal and artistic feeling
without the focal blur. In other words, the image would be rather
*boring* without the ingenious blurring. I think the blurring is spot-on.

  Rather curiously, the blurring makes it look like there *is* some kind
of background in there (it's just completely blurred out). Without the
blurring it would just look like an object on a completely empty white
background.
