It's OOF..dunno if that's what you're going for. I think this one kind of got lost in translation. I think you were trying to go for curves of the body or tones.

All that you are left with are the memories and the images-David Cooke.
Going for kind of a Man Ray look. Don't want it to look overtly like what it is. The focus is what I wanted.
Focus is still OOF, regardless of what you intended. This picture makes no sense to me at all, in composition or clarity. sorry, just saying what I see...........or don't see.

Thank you.
The general idea is to have a series/theme of images that initially appear to be something different from what they are; even if it is an oddly biomorphic shape; a tree that happens to be a person with their hair blowing in the wind, a person with their hair blowing in the wind actually being a tree, etcetera- Roughly.
At first, from back and away, it has the effect I'm looking for. I'm not trying to obscure her completely and go abstract, but to take advantage of the viewer adjusting to what the image actually is. One of my goals in photography/image making is to take as much of the viewer's time as possible. Whether the viewer understands or not is nearly irrelevant--It'd be nice, but, whatever.
I've been thinking of Man Ray and Lee Miller and their surrealist photography.
