Going Out of Focus with Eli Vega

We try so hard to achieve that perfect focus.  But Recently I saw a presentation by Eli Vega, Colorado Photo Artist, that emphasized looking at the abstract.

So I thought I would try some of his, multiple exposure and going out of focus techniques.  Obviously I need more practice to get the desired result.  But What do you think of Going Out of Focus?

Eli's Technique:

• Set your camera for multiple exposures (Mamiya 645 allows this)
• First take a sharp in focus image
• Second, go out of focus and take one or more additional images

 After looking at his website, I think that bright colors with lots of contrast with the background creates the best effect.  Of Course I looked at his website, after my attempts did not turn out as I wanted.

So, we'll try this one again, with brighter colors and more Contrast......
