It broke my heart to blur up a beautifully sharp image. My only worry is that I haven't blurred it up enough.
Post challenge:
I don’t mind a low score (liar ;-)!! Well, I don’t if I think (eventually) that it’s fair. In this case it was.
Three things bothered me though.
Firstly, I beat Richard Yanko last week to get into the finals of the Enzo Tourny. With my crap score I knew I would now definitely be in third place behind Tim timfythetoo and Jason DrAchoo.
I worried that if Richard was sitting on a +7 score this week he might have won! However, he assured me that his score was pretty low too. This cheered me up, but not a lot.
Secondly, I wanted to beat Tim and Jason ;-) No chance!!! Great going, you guys. Congrats.
Thirdly, this was my first week in the German Olympic Team and I came up with my worst score ever. Sorry, teammates!
Thanks for the comments. They were very helpful.
Here is the sharp version. Deb Melethia hit the nail on the head. The blur just doesn’t add to the photo.

Well composed and executed but I'm not quite sure I see where blur adds to this. This is one where because of the granularity of sugar would probably be a better picture if crisp and clear.
This really only is slightly out of focus and doesn't meet the challenge. This would have worked much better without the spoon and with blurry sugar falling by itself (like if you had cropped a picture out of the bottom there).
