Didn't think I was going to find anything by the challenge deadline, but then I remembered a few shots I had taken the previous week of the kids playing at the park. Checked them out and found a couple that I might be able to fiddle with in Photoshop in order to give them a soft focus treatment with the Guassian Blur suggestion from Kirbic. This is what I managed to come up with. I'm still interested in working with soft focus from the camera, so that'll be something to try as a future project for me.
I hope this agrees with the voters...shots of kids usually do, so I'm crossing my fingers :)
