Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Try as we might there are always times when we don't get the money shot. I'm occasionally called upon to deliver the goods at home, at a moments notice, when... well... I'm in no fit state to hold a camera let alone focus it... So this is one of my go to remedies... it's not OOF it's 'ART' !!!  Not really a image review... more a confession... 
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

Works for me. And if I can't get an image white balanced then it becomes a B&W or sepia toned masterpiece.

Yep well... gotta keep shots like that somehow... in a few years time the grand kids will have less innocent and inviting tee shirts worn !!! Thought others might like to get some ideas on ways to salvage important moments less well captured.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

If a photo has personal significance, nothing else matters. Although, the average lay person loves various PS effects so you can go to town on them if you feel that the OOF. For the record, I have exactly the same picture with cupcakes also out of focus!!! There is some merit to using the P mode with full auto with family events. Just need to remember to flick the AF/MF switch please.
