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

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 :-)
