I love pictures like this that keep the subject in the foreground focused and blur the background. In this case though, you lose the focus a bit at the back of the bench, your subject. And it tapers off a bit too much in the distance. I would like to see a bit more of the end of the bench and more of the path focused because you're using that as a secondary subject, it gets almost too blurry back there.

I like the format and the grayscale though, plays well together. The picture is busy enough and has enough going on without being too busy or distracting.
