Don't Drink and Drive

Comment by wingy:
well, I'm guessing the blurryness is supposed to simulate drunken vision, since otherwise this is way too soft/out of focus. The clean backdrop and subject placement work well enough, although I think I'd try pushing the subject a little more to the corner and going a little wider in order to work with the negative space a little more. This might work for an ad or something, but as a stand alone shot is doesn't really hold my attention much. Not a bad try though.

Comment by adine:
Good message. The soft focus is meant to show the impared jperception of someone who has been drinking. I usually think of soft focus to portray something sentimental, romantic, angelic..but this is a harsh reality. It is original, but I'm not sure it works for me.

Seems a little more out of focus than soft focus

Comment by vonautsch:
Good idea. The lighting could be improved a bit. The hard shadows are distracting.

Comment by Neil:
Seems you and several others had the same idea. Good exposure on the shot. As I told the other person, I think it would have been interesting to see a nonverbal way to indicate counting. A hand pointing, a tally sheet, a calculator...
