It's bad when a last place finish gets more look sees than any other image in your profile! LOL! Insanely!!
As for those of you that needed to see a shallow depth of field...checkout the blue. Now there's original thought at work...just a great job of Post Processing to achieve an effect in the image.
One thing I thought this image was going to be hit up for was soft focus. Execpt for the detail in the pillow with selective editing, the entire image has a surface blur. My goal believe it or not was to finish last. Thank you for supporting the cause! When I started the Post Processing of the image I thought to myself...self, how many people in a crowd! Hmmmm...two's company...three's a crowd...I had to remove the fouth body in the painting. For the voter that commented on the brite white spot...It does compete for attention. If you noticed, it's on wheels...I had to move it into position from another display! You should try finishing dead last...It isn't easy! Fortunately, I failed miserably in giving any kind of personification to the pillow...my biggest success in the image! Although, the arm of a chair in the lower left of the image was competing for competition as a matter of fact the painting, the woman, the white coffee table (now there's a poor choice of color for a coffee table), and the lamp. I thought I'd get more remarks on the bright sunlit areas of the image, I failed there. If you want to see my other last place finish...well you don't have to look far! LOL! It just floor's me that this image has received more views than any of my other images...must be curiousity thing!

| it's a known fact that most folks here look at the first few pages and look at the the last pages. and since you received the brown for this one, there you go. tons of hits on your image ;) |

You had to ruin the moment for me didn't you...oh, by the way...congrats on your ribbon! And you are correct...my strategy on getting views worked like a charm! LOL! |

It's not whether you go up or down...it's how you play the game! This was taken at an Ikea store. |

| It's called rubber-necking. There's a bad accident, and one just has to look. |

I gave your picture a 7. I liked the colours and I liked that the blur eliminated detail and made the real-world objects look like the objects in the picture on the wall. I just wasn't getting the overall composition; well, now I know that there was none. But it is my opinion that this is definitely not the worst shot of the challenge, and I went through all of them. If, indeed, you were going for the last place, then you weren't earnest in that attempt.
Some people are not distracted by blurry pictures. Very often, when a photographer has an idea to convey, details are secondary, and a blur (be it achieved by hand-holding a long exposure or in PP) eliminates it, making the photograph more to the point of conveing an emotion, a mood, or what have you. I whish people voting for the challenges thought about this: blur in a picture is often intended! |

Thanks for the kind words and probably closer to the truth than any of mine. I was hoping the surface blur would give it a surrealistic feel. Not sure I succeeded there either. But again thanks for the kind words!! |
