I think this a very neat. Some may say it is too soft. The deep colors is what makes this shot.

well, this is out of focus more than soft focus...

This to me is too blurry. I like the idea of the blurring effect. If there was a little less blur..this could be an abstact because the colors are looking great.

Soft focus not out of focus.

Really like the colors, but the soft focus makes it harder to look at.

Reminds me of the films of Stan Brakhage.

I like the colours, and think it would be a great photo if it wasn't as blurry.

Soft focus is designed to leave important details clearly evident, but to soften context and unimportant details. You've gone too far, IMO, to really meet the challenge.

Maybe a bit too soft.

This looks very out-of-focus

Soft focus don´t mean the lack of it.

Delightful colours. This picture could be achieved using pastels, perhaps even water colours or coloured inks. But your photo probably does it better than any of the other media. 9.

Sorry, this is too blurry for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2006 10:55:25 AM
to much in blur to be soft focus, sorry

The out-of-focus really works here. I like it. - 8

Initially I wasn,t sure about this, but after looking at it for a while and sitting well back from my screen I liked the colour combo. Some may mark you down for out of, rather than soft, focus. Good luck
