Here is another image in a similar style. What are your feelings on this one?

Well David, not sure that they're in a similar style. They're both done using blur and masking or blending (I think) but the "feeling & mood" are quite different for me.
The first image posted works for me to a degree but I think that the bottom left hand foreground could have had less blur applied, it's a distraction to me.
I wanted something moody that gave a sense of loss or uselessness[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=154124\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
It's interesting isn't it how we percieve things. My first impression of this image was more to do with the passage of time and inevitability of change. I also like the muted tone and colour.
I agree with Tim about the second image.
