I gave this a 6 in challenge. Maybe a bit blurry rather than soft focus, but there were several aspects of this that I did like. The angle of the boy and his placement in the pic work well. The colors are nice both on the boy and the background. I think your score was too low - this should have easily broke 5.

I think this is a good photo. I don't get the votes (which probably explains my recent scores. lol.) Looks soft to me. I like the offcenter composition, too.

I quite like this, Kelli, and am quite surprised by the score. Apparently I have lousy taste since I think this is a very nice shot. I like that his expression is pefectly natural. Looking through the comments, I guess people didn't see this as "soft focus" but I'll admit I'm not entirely sure what that is. The shot looks soft to me, but not fuzzy - what do I know? I still like it.

Shallow depth of field but dead on focus - nice pic though - 5

Rather much a snapshot feel to this

For me there is not enough softness in the boys face and the B/G gives more of a blurred feel (MHO)
