I also like the sense of movement and the way that it softens the shot.

The second one disturbs me. It is rather abstract.

And yes. I shot a bicycle race in the rain with very iffy light. Great blurry shots. Loved them. Shot the same race next year and the shots weren't nearly as interesting.

I was drunk and out of focus which made the photo very funny.

Can't remember the photographer's name; but many years ago he hid his camera at an Electrocution/Execution. By today's anal standards it was a horrible photo but it remains an important part of photography history. He caught an image of the person doing what people do when lots of heavy electricity is pumped through their body. It was waaaay out of focus - badly blurred but it 'fit' the image. It worked. The photo was used on the front page of a newspaper with the headline: "DEAD".

There is also (I'd have to find it) a photographer that creates beautiful images by doing handheld pinhole photos. Typically you can't handhold a pinhole photo because it blurs too much.

If you like the effect then that's all that matters. Play with it some more.

the out of focus shot, the more I like it.

I've never had that reaction previously to an out of focus shot.

Oh, I do out of focus real well. lol

I have gotten a couple over the years that I've liked.
