I hate giving unfocussed shots but I am so torn between this one. I normally take more than one just to make sure I have something but this time, the bride moved and I didn't get any other shot
I usually apply my old rule for hiring to decisions about delivering images as well: if it's not a definite "yes," it's a definite "no."
The exception is when the question is whether it qualifies as artsy in some weird way. I infer that this is your question here -- whether to deliver a soft image because it nevertheless renders her in a pleasing way? If so, then I see your problem, and I come down 60% on the deliver-it side.
If it was a bit more out of focus, it might have looked intentional...this just looked like a miss. Personally, I love well executed out of focus shots...I wish I had the knack of pulling them off more
I dunno. I remember what I was told a long time ago. If it's a little out of focus its a mistake, if its a lot out of focus its art. I kinda like like.
Add a motion blur to it then a texture and then some digital noise then place it over a black background and set opacity to 30%. Maybe crank up the saturation after all of that.
