Having the motive out-of-focus is the cause. The effect: the point of interest is depicted blurry, not sharp. Usually the whole photo appears blurry (having something random sharp while everything else is blurry is even worse). Cases where it is clearly wanted to have the motive blurred are excluded from this criticism, of course. I don't recall such a composition, though. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
