I seem to like soft focus in some photographs, but I am not quite sure most everyone else does. I posted for the Seven Deadly Sins III challenge a picture of my cat, sleeping. Its title was Don't you envy my lazy rest?. In this photograph, I thought soft focus looked good for two reasons: first, his fur looked softer, more fluffy, as opposed to sharp focus, where his fur looked harder, like needles or wires; and second, as someone noticed, it gave the photograph a dreamy sense, which related to the title. I also chose this soft focus on my Brown Ribbon Dream picture, again, to make it look dreamy, but I see some people didn't like the effect either.
Anyway, I would like some ideas or comments as to what I'm doing wrong, and why. Thank you very much in advance!
