Sunset Blur

[Indranil Sircar]

One more blur for the week! I had posted a tree zoom blur as an abstract couple of weeks back http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=58956. This is a final frame of the same zoom blur as an abstract. The settings were -

7D, Sigma 50-500mm @ 191mm hand held
1/8 sec, f/32 Mode: Tv Metering: Evaluative Exp comp: -1

I desaturated the greens and applied Topaz detail and denoise. Hope you like it...

Nice image and application, Indranil.

Like the directional lines.

I'm gaining more respect of this "art form" in my quest for the perfect one. :D

Indranil, I like the sweeping lines of this. In the URC I might tone down the white so it isn't the focal point. I like seeing the tree in the BG. Nice lighting.

i like that the tree seems hidden. makes it more interesting. mysterious.

Interesting, Indranil...I wonder about cropping the dark strip from the right side of the frame and maybe a sliver off the left side as well - leaving the tree in the ROT's position? I like the image - I just think it feels a little out of balance from a compositional standpoint.

Thanks folks. Appreciate it a lot. Here is a repost with the suggestions...

Indranil, I love the color variations and think I prefer the original image.:)
