from the pedagogy thread:
One of the possibilities for blur is to convert it to noise. This can give your photo the appearance of grainy film. It is similar to  quiet_observation's strategy above -- make your photo look like something else -- though this is less elaborate. Personally, I love the film grain look. It gives a photo like this a documentary feeling, a spying, voyeuristic sort of feeling, that adds excitement to the shot. This works well with the closeup and the head protruding from some sort of enclosure/boundary. There's just a general feeling of confrontation, of the voyeur getting caught, that adds interest for the viewer. |

| I like this a lot, it is a great looking cat and it looks great in b&w! The amount of blur is interesting because it gives the cat's fur the same texture as the concrete framing the cat, which is really cool! |
