Greetings from the Critique Club! :)
Composition
I love this shot, I've got to admit. I love the progression of the blur, I love the foreground colors, and I love the idea. I don't think you followed any compositional "rules", but the general feel of the image is very nice. The focus of the is very definitely where it belongs.
Camera Work
I honestly think this might have scored a bit higher if your DOF was a bit more forgiving. I see comments about the "softness" (perhaps made by someone misunderstanding "DOF", I don't know) and can only connect that with the A and B having slightly soft edges on the left and right. Focusing just a bit deeper on the letters would POSSIBLY have rendered them completely in focus by using the entire focus plane. As well, a slightly smaller aperture would have still given the same overall effect while imcreasing the sharpness of the letters A and B.
Post Processing
Incredibly well done. Color balance is perfect, contrast is very good, and the overall result is very pleasing. I even personally like the border, but I think it cost you quite a bit of score, as they usually do :)
My Thoughts
I did not vote on this challenge, but I would have probably rated this image an 8. I like the use of red, and I like the overall color. I also like the high key background.
Overall, an excellent image. Thanks for participating. I hope my thoughts have been helpful and informative. Please feel free to contact me by PM if you have any questions or responses.

Good pic, I had a similar one.... Should have dropped the ugly border though....
Another thing that could be better made is to maybe focus on the second item :)
Well just a couple of points, people tend to send only good picture comments. |

| Nice shot, great colors, I am not sure though about the red frame, a tad too aggressive to my taste (7) |

| Good focus although a bit soft. The colors are fantastic against the white. However, the frame is very distracting. 6 from me. This would have been an easy 8 if not for the frame. |
