 First attempt at soft focus.

I couldn't find pantyhose like some suggested, lol, but I did manage to find the screen protector that came with my laptop. I cut out a square and kept it in place with a rubberband. The image is heavily cropped with contrast, shadow, highlight, and brightness adjustments in both PSPP X2 and Sony Picture Motion Browser. Resized in Ifranview.

Really reminds me of 1960s/1970s movies. Cool challenge!
