I like the storybook feel to this. Just funny to me to think that someone is walking down an alley with a candlestick :)

Funny, he looks like a nice man...but then the knife?, candle, title and stare suggest otherwise. regardless, I like the "non" focus, it adds to the composition which is the point of the challenge.

Strikes me more like Indiana Jones than an alleyway thug.

Quite effective, it reminds me of the Indiana Jones type movies.

I like the pic...kindof like indiana jones or something. I think I would have focused on the knife and left everything else blurry. I believe it would still meet the challenge and be more powerful

A bit cliche for my taste. Maybe if part of the image were focused, it might've had more impact?? Just my take on it.

A mugger with a candle? Good use of blur, though.

I wish the candle wasn't visible. The light is very good but who lurks around with a single candle in hand?

Meets the challenge; the subject (both guy and knife) are out of focus. Image has a compelling story. However, something about this pic seems "off". Can't quite put my finger on it but the "sharpness" of the guys face/beard(?) seems odd. Still a good challenge entry.
