Challenge: Missed Focus (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
Date: Sep 19, 2009
Date Uploaded: Sep 20, 2009

 Thanks everyone for the interesting comments. I took the challenge to mean that something readily identifiable as the subject should be out of focus, but that other elements should be in focus. The first one in line is bright, so my thinking was that it would be readily identifiable as the subject. To be honest, I spent a long time trying to get the shot the way I wanted, & I think I failed. The crow turned out to be more interesting than the white color item. And the out of focus items were not enough out of focus. I did learn quite a bit, so in that way, this was a personal best in trying something new & a little too difficult for me. **Another Brown for my portfolio!**

I gave this a 4, for the same reason as the other commenters mentioned. However, I have to mention that it fit the challenge just as well as all the motion blur-only entries.

Not sure I see any missed focus here. Interesting and unique scupltures.

Can't see any missed focus in this picture. Aperture maybe set too high?

Quite a pretty shot, but it doesn't really have any compelling use of missed focus.

This looks like it is in focus to me.

Colorful picture, but I don't think it really meets the requirements of the challenge.

This shot makes me smile - cute critters and they are nicely personified by the line and the title. I do not, however, see this as missing focus since the bird looking at me seems well enough in focus.

you really need to add a more OOF element here for this to work.

I'm struggling to see where the OOF is
