Inspired by Man Ray

As part of our college course we are trying to use the 'look' of other photographers in our work. This was inspired by the photo at http://www.manray-photo.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=430&osCsid=110f6e917d5c2674bc910bb45f36f0f8

I tried to get the out of focus effect using the Lubitel with a wide open aperture but 'overcooked' it a bit. However I do like the image, anyone elses opinion is just as valid and I welcome criticsm - one friend asked why I spent so much time at college to "be able to take photos of myself out of focus leaning over" fair point I suppose :-)
