Default Blurry Couple

I was walking the other day and suddenly saw two couples walking in opposite direction and thought it would make a nice picture...The thing is i was too close and didnt want them to see me, focus was on manual and tried to take the shot from the waist... When I saw the photo, well it was obvious I missed the focus! but then I thought that it might look nice as it is, what do you think? Does it look interesting or I better just get rid of it?

Thanks!
Eduardo

It does have a certain appeal to it, a little abstract / modern art sorta a look.

The parts that got blown out are a bit of a distraction, maybe if you do some post p to tone them down?

It's a just a bit too far off for me.... if the couple were even just a little more in focus than the pair walking behind them. perhaps if you cropped them out I could jump on the abstract boat... but I would put it in my portfolio.

Thanks for sharing Keep shooting

I agree with KodiakStar. It has an appeal from an abstract perspective. I really like the bokeh. Neat idea taking it at such an angle too. I agree it that the bright blown areas could be toned down a bit, but otherwise, neat mistake!
