When I came back from my holidays I recognized, that there was a "Soft Focus" challenge. I was interested in this technique, read about the legal way to achieve this effect in the forum and decided, to come up with a soft focus motive in the ROT challenge. I just hope, that it doesn't gets "out of focus" comments now ;-)

I'd like to see this with some advanced editing, so you can experiment with different kinds of fuzzing and obscuring effects. It's good the way it is, but borders on being sentimental. I think what ultimately saves it is that the color and flow of the leaves draws just as much attention as the cross. 7

nice subject, the coloring seems a overly un-natural though.

Wow. It looks as if it's floating in the leaves. The colors are wonderful. Great job.

This is beautiful. Very lovely soft fall colors. The only thing I don't like is the orange line border. Gives it a Halloweeny feel. (no deduction for the border, by the way).
