The soft blur was a nice touch. Gave the images a bit of a 'look' beyond just being pixellated.
Regarding the rounded edges on the text outline I tend to hyperfocus on things sometimes and notice stuff like that and am completely oblivious to other more obvious things. It's probably not a problem, or something that any other human being would notice :D
My comment on the poetry may have been a little harsh. As I said, I'm nothing of an expert, and as such probably shouldn't have commented on it. But yeah, hopefully it wasn't taken to heart too much.
