I really liked this - gave you a 7 (same as I gave for each of the ribbons). Thought you captured a "glazed" mood - unfortunate that some do not appear to have realised that an out of focus shot can be intentionally done for effect (as I think you have done here).

I think that a hard focus would have made it a normal, uninteresting shot, and as for soft focus.... bleurgh!

Too soft. I can't tell what you are trying to convey.

Your choice of black and white works, and the idea of soft focus was good, but this is way too blurry for my taste.

Good idea, but it's WAY too out of focus for my eyes. WAY! Maybe more contrast?
03/26/2005 09:17:30 AM
Might work better if it was focused.

The posture works. I just can't get past having everything out of focus. It almost works as an abstraction...but just almost. (IMO)

hmmmm....I like the idea, the window lights a little distracting, not sure if you had some of the shot in focused and the person as is, .......5

umm... to far of a stretch for me

I love these kinds of shots, except the blur is a bit to heavy...to the point where I can't make-out anything other than I'm assuming there's a person and a lamp. lol I still like it. 6

Pure artistry....

too out of focus to distinguish a mood

nice image
just the right amount of "outoffocusness" (could be a word...)
Well done

Nice shot and nice blur effect - it complements the bored feel.
03/23/2005 07:35:54 AM
Nothing in this shot is in focus...hard to look at.
03/23/2005 03:24:31 AM
Nice execution. The lack of a focal point adds to this shot.

Why so out of focus? A soft focus would have been interesting, but this to overdone.
