Bosque Blur

I created this blur of a flock of Red-winged Blackbirds while in Bosque. I had my 100-400mm lens and tried to capture the mountains and trees in the background to give a sense of place.

Denise, I love this! The layered mountains in the distance look fabulous. I like how the trees and the foreground seem to have blurred more than the birds. As usual fabulous work! :S3:

Beautifully crafted, denise. So much to see and imagine. Love the bare hint of red in the flock. :S3:

Beautiful work, Denise. Very nice colors and motion. I love your inclusion of the trees and mountains in the BG; the sense of place it adds is the perfect touch. Well done! :S3:

The image really gives the sense of movement, of the flock of birds. The scene is nicely composed with the trees and mountains...nice one..nice colors and contours

Beautiful composition, Denise. I like how the flock resembles shape of a mountain with the backdrop of the mountains itself. I think the blur makes it even more appealing. Just wished for a larger version:w3 Excellent work.

Denise,

This is one of my favorites of yours. Love the composition, the blur effect, the quality and softness of the colors as well as the shape of the flock. Beautifully done.
