Erm, what exactly is wrong focus?

 

[Crossover]

My interpretation would be that you were aiming for a picture of one thing and the camera focused elsewhere

So, the worse the photo, the better? I think I'll give this one a miss...

Not necessarily - I wouldn't have thought the OP (well not OP but you know what I mean in this case) would have had in mind to just have entries of scraping the barrel so to speak. I seem to recall a similar topic a few months ago where the winners picture was very good even if it didn't achieve the originally desired outcome.

Anyhow - I've entered and hope people don't think it is scraping the barrel either...I think the outcome is still quite good...but I guess we will have to see if the voting reflects that :P

I've entered too, not sure if it's the desired effect or not

Can we enter shots that were deliberately mis-focussed? For example, if you took a photo of a station sign with the train out of focus in the background, would that be OK?

Depends on your intent I suppose but I cant see how you can deliberately mis-focus.

Hmmmm - interesting one. I guess it comes down to interpretation of the topic.

As GB says, I'm not sure you can deliberately mis-focus as if it is, then it is planned as such.

However, I think the general guidance (especially given the time now) is to enter it - if it isn't deemed in keeping then the chances are the voting will reflect as such

I've gone for number 6, as for me it has real atmosphere.
