Art from the Archives

Challenge #5 in the Soft Light series. Hosted by Aaro.

Challenge has finished

Lets turn an image from archive into an artwork by blurring it. Blurring means we lose detail, but at the same time we give the viewer more possibilities to make ones own interpetation of the image. See the other challenges in the Soft Light series. Please read the rules.
