I like the shots bar 2,but they seem out of focus.

I was thinking they were OOF but I'm not certain. Interesting tho.

That faded, washed-out look seems to be something I'm seeing more often now. Are you going for that on purpose? What are you doing to achieve that look? In camera? Or PP?

I thought the last one was a sleeve of pills at first, in which case I thought it might be acceptable to have that out of focus

I like #3, but I'm not fond of the others. I think your PP effects, while possibly a little too extreme, work well. The faded look goes nicely with the polarioids.. gives it sort of a vintage feel.

Thanks for the comments. I didn't really had the feeling that they were out of focus (except for no.4). From 1 to 3 I (as I recall) didn't use any post process effects except for white balance correction. No. 4 has a blue filter applied in Photoshop. So I guess the washed out look is from the film.

Pretty sure its film.
