Make that 8 to 1.  :)

Depends on what the picture is about, too.  Since the boy is lighter, my
eyes are drawn to him first.  Seems like he'd be the primary subject, but by
making him blur while keeping the background more in focus, the picture
becomes more about the background than the boy...at least to me.  For your
way to work, I think the picture really needs to be about the background and
the boy is just a prop.
