Good concept and I do like that shade of blue. You will get a better response if you have specific questions other than "what do you think?" Some input on your intent, what you were trying to accomplish goes a long way.

If the logo was to be the subject of the photo, then you missed the chance for a nice crisp shot.

Thanks for fixing by the way

i guess my mistake on the logo was that I used autofocus. Im aware of that mistake but the feedback I'm looking for is composition, perspective and exposure. Thanks for the feedback so far

You'll get more responses if you include more info as well as posting a photo here. Let me know if you need help with anything!

I like images that are sharp, sadly. Nothing really seems to be sharp. And that isn't really the fault of your autofocus. You could have used a wider aperture. But to be honest, like 60% of the photo is just blur... So. Maybe we could work on that?

correct me if I'm wrong but the bokeh effect is achieved by using a wide aperture. I'm beginning to think that my aperture was set a bit wide thus the soft image. I used a 2.8 but I think what might of helped is using f8 or above.
