I just noticed that this is your first submission after being member/user for almost a year. Welcome to the club and sharing your photo with other DPCers. I like the blur but I'm not able to find any point on this photo to focus on. Maybe a little sharper eyes (in PP) might have made this even better. Still a nice photo and I feel it deserved better. Goodluck for future submissions.

A bit to much camera shake. I would prefer a sharper picture.

A little heavy with the neat image or blur for my taste.

Great shot.. Like the fact that you are out of focus, find it makes the picture somehow... hm, peaceful :o)

I love how you reveal yourself being observer and observed at the same time. Every self portrait has this quality, but you make it explicit. Well done. 7

maybe its soft intentionally, maybe its too much neat image; perhaps its best left to say that you, like maybe all photographers, hide behind the camera as a shield. I like that.

The focus is way too soft, the background is fair too bright. Something should be in focus.

The composition is so well balanced and the perfect amount of soft focus. Great job!

I like this portrait, even though you are not in focus: there is a nice soft feeling to the image.

You probably could have flipped the shot so the printing on your camera was the right way around. I think the soft focus hurts a bit because there are words in the shot.

This is a good idea of the ever so popular shot in a mirror. Just a bit to soft of focus for me, but i do like it.

Artistically I love it! However, I just feel that something in this needs to be in focus - otherwise it is hard to stay with.

I wish that you were in focus not the camera (actually even the camera is out of focus) but the composition is tereffic

There seems to be no focal point. The camera is more in focus than you are, but it still a bit blurry.
