GE, I loved this concept. Wondering what a reshoot would look like. Keep the blur and main viewpoint, but put someone in the shirt holding the steth up, just barely out of focus as if they were about to check our heartbeat....

I was checking out the "other end" of this challenge, and this picture made me laugh, in a good way I mean. Man, I love it. You got robbed here :)

Paul - I wouldn't have the gonads to have entered this shot, but I like the concept. WAY too many others didn't...guess they are the ones that don't believe in reading titles. ;^) Keep having fun!

Actually, in focus it just looked like a wrinkled old T-shirt I dug out of a box somewhere ... : )

Thanks to those of you who saw there was a reason for the ultra-blurriness.

Wow, way underrated. Just goes to show you how little appreciation there is for anything not tack-sharp. I definitely understood this image, but I guess those that said they wanted it in focus didn't... oh well! De gustibus non disputandum, and this is still a good picture.

It doesn't explain itself. Perhaps if there was a few more recognizable, although blurry, objects it would explain itself.

Creative view. Good going. Soft focus works here.

LOL I had to read the title about 10 times before I got (I can be slow at times, yes). I dig it. 6

I have no doubt this will get totally hammered but I understand exactly what you are doing and I appreciate it. I hope this does better than I predict it will, it's quite original and it took guts to enter such a totally blurred image.

not sure what this has to do with the 70s, I assume Vietnam, but not sure.

most of it was a blur to us who lived in that era.

The out of focus does not help here, and I just can't link that picture to the 70's

Is it out of focus on purpose? It does not look so bad :)

Very creative title, and excellent idea. However, as a photo, a blurred image is difficult to look at. More creative though, then a lot of other submissions.
