Tried to photo gulls OOF but found they just look OOF by accident. I then slowed the shutter and got some interesting motion blur but didn't feel it quite met the challenge. Finally I decided to photo some birds flying over the water focusing on the bird leaving the reflection as the missed focus. I'm happy with the result but I feel there will be many great artistic shots this challenge and this won't compare too well. But hey, it was fun to try and get a missed focus shot on purpose!
