The focus seems to be on the light blue background piece...

I may be wrong – but assume the focus was to be on the ashtray.

imo, the lighting is not good and it's out of focus

Um - this was a Christmas gift?

Looks like you focused on the wall, not the ashtray

It might have made the picture a bit stronger if the cigar bud in the middle was better focused ...

why the focus is on the wall instead of the present? was it on purpouse? I would choose a slightly different angle, and try lighting up the cig, so that the there would be some action too IMHO

The focus seems to be better on the wall than on the ashtray.

If the ash tray is the subject, it should be in focus.

The in-focus background isn't that interesting.

My mom has a candy dish with a very similar pattern. I thought I had the brown ribbon for this challenge, but I see I have some stiff competition from this misfocused shot.

Could we have a little better focus? Not that the dirty polyboard wall isn't a great draw!

Quahog? Clams? Sea? Back focused? Cigarettes? Makes me think of Whiterook. :-)

Focus is on the wall and not on the object. Guessing you were too close for your lens. Maybe back off a bit and crop the result?

I would be good if it were in focus and the horizon was straight. I like the colors and the composition, but I can see any reason for the blur.
Post actions
But you focused on the wall!
Post actions
hmmmm, dirty object, clearly OOF, awkward and harsh lighting. Looks to me someone is aiming for brown here. :)
Post actions
wow, this isnt even in focus! ahha!

Item of interest should be in sharp focus, auto focussed on the wall behind.
