the only edit made to the photo after it was taken was a darkening of the brightness and contrast and a shift of the colors toward blue from red.
why would i post-process a blur effect on a photo like this? that makes no sense.
the blur is (i would think this is obvious) caused by the lack of focus on the background.

it's not meant to show deep inner emotion. it's simply an image made up of shapes and colors. it's not meant to show anything except for that which it is - an image. it's not an idea, it's not a photograph of a building or a person or a tree - it's just colors and shapes. that's all that it is meant to show.
there were other photos almost identical to this that were focused differently, some that were actual portraits, et cetera but i chose this one because of its simplicity and lack of anything as an early upload from my recent trip in that it was "safe" and i didn't have to decide if i liked the photo.
