I set the camera on auto, turned on a light on the left side of me, covered the lens with a used fabric softener, and snapped. I used picture it and added a bit of brightness and a bit of contrast to get this look. I think I did good for my first soft focus.

Cute kid, I think the softness created here may be a little over done, to me it is so blurred it loses to much detail and makes the baby fade into the background, IMHO. Good luck in the challenge.
What a cutie!!!! Really suits the "soft focus" as a subject. The only thing that I could say on this one would be that the lighting, perhaps, could be a bit better, but then again.....try getting a shot like this and the opportunities. They don't come easily, do they? No time to fuss with lighting, I'm sure. I really like this one. Tugs at my heart strings.
