An example of an image showing blur due to poor focus

This image illustrates a blurry image due to poor focus. The photographer relied on the autofocus feature and due to the subject's motion and the bright white color, the camera was unable to focus precisely in time. In this particular case, the aperture was also set too large so that the depth of field was too shallow.

A possible solution for this image would be to have used a small aperture (large DOF) and to have manually focused the camera. Also, the photographer should try to focus on the head of the subject in order to ensure the face/eye is in focus. When the face/eyes of a subject are in good focus it is easier to overlook minor defects in focus across the rest of the subject.
