opinions?

Earlier on I saw that it was really misty outside, so I decided to go and try to nab some shots. Was shooting away when I decided to see what the image would look like if I adjusted focus whilst exposing... So I had a bit of a play with that, and came up with this. Not very sure about it though, so I'm after some peoples opinions

Cheers, Glitch

I was trying to use the fence to lead the eye to the old tree - but I don't think that makes a strong enough composition for this to work well. I think there needs to be a very, very strong focal point... Then this might work, but as it is (after staring at it some more) I'm seeing more and more a blurred, messy photo with nothing to interest me.

I took some less zany shots... So I'll process one of those and see if this even works as a half decent shot when I'm not farting with the focus

guys, cheers for all the constructive critisicm, really appreciated

I'm gonna try a few things, see if it's any better

@themask70 ~ it was on a Manfrotto 190 Pro w// 460MG, and the legs were well placed - the camera was not moving

Just browsing through images I remembered I was going to see what this shot looked like without focus jiggery pokery. I think I prefer it...

Yeah, I took it waaaay OOF when exposing... Other people have said it may work better somewhere in the middle, and I think I have images that I didn't take quite so far. I'll check and report back
