This is going to be an interesting challenge. There are some very good entries, and there are a number of entries where soft focus was confused with out-of-focus. Others, I'm not sure how they are different from normal focus.

I predict that the top 5 will be in the normal high-score range, but the average overall score will be lower than most challenges. And this thread is going to get a bit heated as the week progresses.


I reckon that people have made two mistakes here...they either entered shots with out of focus bg's which Zi don't believe was the intention of the challenge, or they took shots and gave them a soft diffuse glow, which is ok, but the softness doesn't suit the subject matter...I mean, some were actions shots...isn't soft focus for when you want something to be warm and cuddly and serene and gentle?

Went to sleep with 1 vote of 9, woke up with a score of 4.90. It was much easier when I was on hiatus from challenges :(

no getting much love early on, but a nice comment!!!

Use this technique in an effective way to convey a message to your viewer.... I may be way off base here but, I do not think the majority of the shots made any point or message at all :(

Or, did I assume too much from the challenge?

I knew it... if I had entered this shot in any other challenge I'd have 10 comments telling me that my focus is too soft. This one... 1 comment asking where the soft focus is. LOL.

Well my scores are turned off, my shot is better then where its scoring and the one comment is asking if my subject, a male, is wearing some sort of makeup? I'm going off to do more productive things.

I think what you and hotpasta said are dead on the mark. Mostly it's blurred images, or those that aren't suited for soft focus. That's why I entered "rope" and it's not doing well either. ;~( BUT there are a handful that really shine and I hope they do well. They deserve it.
