I agree. What I wanted was the snow more in focus than the background, but the background just a LITTLE oof, to give it a dreamy feeling and to emphasize the snow, rather than the rest of the scene. The background is MUCH more oof than I intended. It didn't look quite that bad on the viewing screen, and I didn't examine it too carefully as my wife was anxious to get out of the snow and rain.
It is not at all what I intended, but what the hell, I'll just pretend it's art, and if others don't like it,then I'll tell them they don't understand high concept art.
