I thought it would be fun to see folks' favorite not particularly sharp focused shots - where the content overrides the lack of technical perfection.

Amateur Photography spring meeting in Oxford by gray1720, on FlickrTaken with a Coronet Popular Twelve box camera. I'd think someone had flipped the lens, except I have the very similar Dynamic Twelve, and it's just the same!

There's a fine line between when something looks 'evocatively unsharp' and when it looks like 'a mistake'/technical incompetence. Lots of positive examples here.
I do tend to have a firm expectation of what i want an image to be as I snap it, and I probably discard/disregard my own images when I don't get that expected result. This thread is good for teaching us to keep our minds open to 'the failures.'

Oh, Helen, that is such glorious shot. Wish it were mine.
