But what about that memory that you can't get back? Would you throw away a picture that be valuable just because it's out of focus?
I have a few of very special friends that not very sharp or much in focus, but they hold the special place to me.

'Missed focus' in the strict sense is only the first one.
But if you permit I'd love to make a point for out of focus photos in general, the second was a long exposure panning 'trial', the last simply as intended

Kuuan your first one is just great.
Here are mine, the first one is a successful miss. I wanted the biker on the foreground. The guys were departing and I didn't have time to set my focus, so I just shot and hoped for the best. And I had the second guy in focus 
Shot with my Nex-5n and a Revuenon 135/2.8.
This one with a Jupiter 11 135/4. The lighting was surreal at the end of the afternoon, but I missed this one. I still like the ambiance.
Shot with the Flektogon 35/2.4.
Also lucky on this one, I missed the lady but caught some leaves. Shot with Tokina At-x 90/2.5 Macro.

Luckily I haven't missed anything yet, but your point is a good one. I might still have some film shots of friends that are a bit out of focus, but it's quite hard to miss by much at f5.6-f8 which is how I shoot people.

The ballon shot is absolutely great. Wouldn't be that nice if it was sharp. Sometimes you need a bit of out of focus luck.
Here is a shot of mine that went completely wrong but that I like very much:

thank you very much. she was so lively and it was a lucky shot, taken during an exhibition with white walls, in the background hardly people but one person that was easy to 'stamp out'
That 'pastel painting' effect came out very, very beautifully Rafael, I love that! - this is what I also tried for with my cherry blossoms.

I was taken by surprise as they silently walked right behind me.Turned around hastily and snapped twice before the bird flew off. Also snapped the bird in its flight.It then descended on the tar road to WALK with the group of buffalo's.

Don't be discouraged by the word "best" in title. It is of course very subjective genre.

I am very happy about these theme and also about how it is received! Imo this shows how mature mflenses is or has become.
Imagine, some 3 years ago I had made a thread in another forum called, translated from German, 'out of focus on purpose'. It proved impossible to discuss this interesting field, most ridiculously instead I was forced to defend myself against personal attacks that were meant to hurt

I like 2nd pic! I think I understand the purpose, if that was to show how she was lost in her thoughts and absent
from reality, I would say you have really hit the point!

I prefer my shots to have pop, so I tend to delete those that aren't sharp, although I absolutely understand the merits of shots with an OOF look.
Here's one I shot at a gig last year at f/2, which I front focused. Was going to bin it, but thought I'd put it here instead

This was shot wide open, knowing full well all the kids wouldn`t be in focus at 1.4 on a Supertakumar 50. I love the dreamy quality and looks. I have no idea how I managed to get the background so squinty, I seem to remember they were sitting on a wooden mushroom in the woods and my foot was down a hole.
