Critique Club Review:
Your picture is loaded with detail, which tends to defeat the goal of a soft focus photo. What happens is that the eye still struggles to make out the detail, and the viewer comes away frusrtrated. In this case the detail is not lost, but neither is a soft focus effect gained.
The bark of the palm tree tries to steal the eye away from the ivy. The rings pull the eye up, up, up. Your lighting and color saturation are good. This just wasn't the ideal subject for a soft focus photo. |

Soft focus does not mean out of focus. |

IMHO this is more out of focus than soft focus but I do like the light on the Ivy |
