I'm kinda fond of soft focus myself, and have submitted several. Every time I have had several comments say the same thing - that the image is out of focus or blurry. One of my last shots, Nightly Waiting in the inside looking out challenge, someone even suggested I check the settings on my camera.
I've got to the point now where I find it humorous. There are some people who are aware of, and appreciate, intentional soft focus, and there are those who just dont understand it. As have been said many times, you can either submit something you like and hope others like it too, or else you can submit something that people will a) think meets the challenge, and b) contains an effect that everyone will know about.
Personally, I like soft focus photographs!
