Let's see some images that misfocus (or are movement blurred or otherwise blurry) but still send a message and somehow work.

I think that taking pictures out-of-focus is a technique that if done intentionally is hard to master and even when done well seems to be rarely appreciated. I am a fan of the style.

I made a lens out of a plastic binocular toy that was guaranteed to make blurry pictures. Here's a set from an afternoon with a friend and her bird:

You managed top get the kid's face! I love it when that comes together. Great pic, I'll bet the parent(s) really love that one.

Sunrise, Florida. First morning of vacation, and the kids were excited to be at the seashore. I missed focus in my effort to capture the moment, but I like the photo all the same.

That picture has got a wonderful combination of lighting and action sleepyhead!

The focus lies on the fine waterfilm in front of the picture.
Could also be a very well focussed picture instead.
It depends how you look and think

The best camera is one that still works!

A very OOF shot taken with an old Canon 58mm f1.2 FL lens to see how pedestrians in a mall would look if shot completely blurred. I rather like the effect which is very abstract though I must admit that while its fun to see how far one can go with such experiments I think I may have gone a bit too far here - I am not sure it is meaningful to others though it is to me.

And I have always been partial to this one which I deliberately blurred then blurred more in post to create an impressionistic city scape.

And this was shot as a reflection in a stainless steel art installation rather like the famous Chicago "bean" for our American friends. Again I confess adding to the blur in post to take it to the max. That's me in the centre frame getting the shot.
