We usually try to get our photos sharp but for this challenge let's see how creative we can get with blur in our photos. Any subject is acceptable but there has to be blur in the photo.


This challenge begins when posted and ends on Monday, September 13th at midnight GMT. Winner of this challenge will be announced shortly thereafter.

Challenge Rules:

1. Camera: Any DIGITAL CAMERA is allowed, not just DSLR.
2. Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
3. Size: Please visit Image Posting Rules.
4. Post Processing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.
5. Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer per challenge. List camera model & lens used. Post brief EXIF data: ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
6. Commenting: No commenting during challenge. When the posting is closed and a winner declared, comments can be made in this thread.
7. Keep it clean, and both Family and Work safe.
8. Have questions, PM me.
9. Have lots of FUN!

* THE WINNER ALWAYS SETS THE THEME FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE, POSTS IT AND JUDGES IT - BE PREPARED!

Did this start yesterday or end yesterday? I'm confused. I just posted, then deleted, a shot from the simple, minimal, logo thread. Apparently that one ended yesterday (I think.)

Crow will have to decide if Creative OUT OF FOCUS counts as Creative Blur...

Not many playerss but these three images have given me a lot of trouble in deciding which to choose as a favorite.

Ed -- excellent selective focus with great foreground and background bokeh.

Happygav -- you would make Monet proud. Great color contrast.

LtDave -- bokeh balls definitely count as creative blur.

I could go with any one of these but I give the nod to Happygav.

Thanks again for your submissions. Well done all.
