I want to try for full on blur for some of the photos during this challenge. Seemed like such an easy idea...but how do you create something with meaning, that is not just an out of focus photo. I was closer with day one...but I think I totally missed the boat on this one. All part of the curve I guess! :)

It's interesting Mark, I've accidentally bumped into this photo now and hovered over it for a while thinking how is it that I've never seen it before. I then noticed my comment made more than 2 years ago. Brain is a strange thing.

I think you captured a feeling of nostagia here. I look at this and totally think I am looking back in time at a street scene from way back. I think that this picture does show meaning and you captured it well. Nice job!

I'm with the majority here and think its spot on. I guess if the fotog isn't sure but the majority of viewers are sure they like it then I can understand it when it works in reverse ;)

Missed the boat? I certainly don't think so!
I love the blobs of colored blur that are almost discernable and that old blue truck that's almost run over a ghost.

I don't think you missed the boat at all with this. In fact I like it a lot. I'm a sucker for old cars and trucks.

Early morning view out the curtained kitchen window.

I know what you're saying, but I don't think you missed the mark. I see an abandoned pickup at an old gas station, waiting patiently to be rescued and restored. : )

You'd be surprised - sometimes it only takes the slightest nudge out of focus. I usually take shots at varying stages of defocus to get a range of options - some shots are most effective with a little bit, others are only at their best with full-on defocus. This doesn't look bad to me - looks like you're in your "Blue Mood". ;)

I feel almost exactly how you do pekesty. This is a wonderful image though and you've done a great job with it.

In case you didn't see this. Thought it would appeal to you maybe.

I don't know that you missed the boat. This looks pretty good to me.

Looks like a drunken morning.

I wouldn't say you'd missed the boat, again I love the deep blues you have here.

His eyes had grown cataract dim
but memories were full blown and clear
as he watched the old truck drive by
Hank Williams' "Lonesome Blues" he could hear

Nah, I like this. I'm a drunk stumbling to my truck.

"Meaning" isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes (most times for me) it's just about shapes and colours.

I hear you - its really a challenge to take a good blur photo! I really like the blue tones throughout this image.
