I think this is one of the best natural(!) soft focus... if I am not mistaking. and if it is, I give 10... if it is not, you can keep the 10 ;)

I like the light from the window on the floor but this feels more OOF than soft to me (MHO)

There's something weird about that window projection...just looks not quite natural...but almost.

I really like this alot. The soft focus almost makes one feel like it's about to tell a story of what was once here. Very Nice!
