And the funny thing is -- it doesn't look half bad! You've turned Yet Another Flower Shot into something interesting.

actually i like the result quite a lot - but then it fails to be a failure - catch XXII :-)

"Photograph something that represents a failure." To me a shot that badly photographs a non-failure subject just doesn't quite fit.

You certainly me the challenge here. It would have been a nice picture if it didn't "fail"!

was this on purpose or a true failure of focus, either way way to meet the challenge.

When pictures come out blurry it frustrates me too, it keeps the idea though.

well the composition is nice but the flash put ugly shadows on the wall.

Nice colors, but blurred images are difficult for me to look at.

hahahaa... that's awesome, nice composition and color and nice work on the lack of focus... the colors of the flowers aren't my favorite, but I'll still give you a 7
