Aperture: f5.3
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/1250

 Taken during the Canada Remembers Air Show. This is my first attempt at soft focus. There have been some problems with the image looking pixilated when reduced to size for this challenge, but only in my home program it seems.

Applied a Gaussian Blur overlay to achieve the soft focus.

I like the softness you have on the edges of the flag and parachute and the red against the blue sky goes really nicely :o)

it's not so much about taking any image and making it soft focus...does the soft focus suit the subject matter? I would have to say no, no a hundred times no for this one. This is about action and not something soft and squiggy...sorry :-(
