This overall concept is cool, but I have seen this done more than a few times. The contrast between the object thing is not so great. The shadow on the ground could be a wee tad bit less blurry. If you want realistic pictures, think of how a camera will take a picture. The center will be nice and sharp, while the sides blurry, and the blur sort of feathering out. So, if you look at your LP, you would want the focus on the close part of your object, meaning the parts where the object is farther away should be blurry, and so should the sides and they get closer and farther from the focal point. The text also really takes away from the concentration on the actual object, making people lose interest more quickly.

To sum it up on 3 words.. Depth of field :lol:

Good job man.. But I agree that the text needs some work =)
not a big issue though.
