p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Shelter In Place

When I walked by a local store window, I happened to see this painting of a woman hanging inside. What occurred to me is that she seems like one of those Shelter In Place people with crosshair aiming at them in 'highly-educated' Boston. So I took the shot. That's the story.

I don't see the attraction in this shot. Blurry foreground, blurry subject. The "shelter in place" idea needs text to describe it.
I'm not trying to be negative, just saying that some will like this and others will come away wondering.

Roger that. But, my poor misunderstanding is that every image doesn't have to be clearly focused or without any blurs. In my case, blur was intended by shaking and rotating the camera at the same time with manually defocused desire while 1/8s shutter speed on 60mm FL. The idea is that everything you see is just staged illusion, it doesn't have to be spelled out if no one feels it, then everyone is just a docile body, and that's just fine too.

OK, that's your "vision"
For me it still looks like a blurry out-of-focus photo of a painting !

The whole point of my original comment was to point out these two different points of view.
Some will enjoy this photo for the reasons above. Others will pass it by, also as described above in a different post.

Viva la difference!

I like it and that it looks different to some people's idea of a good photo.

it's an interesting image, and i like the color and the motion. the blur keeps you from realizing it's a picture of an image instead of an actual person.

i also understand the impetus behind taking the photo, even if the photograph may not convey this to the viewer. you're not always required to explain yourself.

also, off topic, but it's interesting to see you refer to boston as "highly educated" in your post above. this raises more questions than the image, imo.
