Default Unfocused

I took this picture quite a while ago and my intention was to get the shot unfocused and kinda mysterious and I believe the glasses made it's work on this picutre even tho I believe a hat would be better.

Mysterious young man

Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/6.3
Focal Length: 48 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: No Flash

So I'd like to know if the different colors on the picture distract you and if you'd actually know that that's a man on a picture if I wouldn't write it...

Any other tips are more than welcome. And thanks in advance for all your feedback and help.

well, as for your question - yes I knew it was a guy wearing shades. but that's about it.
while blurry photos are mysterious, this is not the case with this one.
I think it's a dull photo which says nothing. if you're going to artistic directions - you need your photo to mean something, say something to whoever is watching it.
just taking a blurry photo, even if it's very blurry just doesn't do it for me.

sorry if I'm harsh but I found that that's the best way to learn.

I see what you are trying to go for, but this is far too strong for me, it almost hurts my eyes (I know, dramatic :P). I think it is great that you are thinking outside the box and being creative though! That is how we learn, so I say keep it up!
