GE, I loved this concept. Wondering what a reshoot would look like. Keep the blur and main viewpoint, but put someone in the shirt holding the steth up, just barely out of focus as if they were about to check our heartbeat....
Paul - I wouldn't have the gonads to have entered this shot, but I like the concept. WAY too many others didn't...guess they are the ones that don't believe in reading titles. ;^) Keep having fun!
Wow, way underrated. Just goes to show you how little appreciation there is for anything not tack-sharp. I definitely understood this image, but I guess those that said they wanted it in focus didn't... oh well! De gustibus non disputandum, and this is still a good picture.
I have no doubt this will get totally hammered but I understand exactly what you are doing and I appreciate it. I hope this does better than I predict it will, it's quite original and it took guts to enter such a totally blurred image.
Very creative title, and excellent idea. However, as a photo, a blurred image is difficult to look at. More creative though, then a lot of other submissions.
