Fuzzy photo features

Answer:

BLURS

Hint:

Think of what happens when a camera moves too quickly or the focus isn’t quite right—these imperfections make edges look soft.

Explanation:

The clue "Fuzzy photo features" hints at what you see when a picture isn’t sharp or clear. "Fuzzy" describes something blurry, and "photo features" points to elements in an image—so the answer is simply the word for that lack of sharpness. There’s no hidden wordplay here, just a straightforward definition where "blurs" fits as both a noun (the blurry parts) and a verb (the action of becoming unclear). Think of out-of-focus shots where edges bleed together, and you’ve got it.
