We have a saying in the artistic world, "Happy Accidents". That's when something unplanned and often times destructive happens to a work in progress and turns out to be a cool thing. Today I spotted a group of Ranunuculus in a planter bed. I grabbed my camera and looked for a good shot. When I checked my image it was blurred. I thought it was out of focus due to being too close to the subject. I took another shot from farther away and it was still blurred. Boy was I bummed. Then I looked at the lense and discovered a greasy fingerprint right in the middle. But when I looked closely at the photo I liked the soft edges created by the dirty lense. You just never know when something will happen that works out.
