I had a chance yesterday to get out and take a few blurs for the theme. This one was taken back in the woods on our property. I applied a "butterscotch" action, upped the saturation a bit, and applied a blur overlay. I then cropped it to a pano and added a vignette. Your comments and critique would be most appreciated.

I like the colors and the patterns. I guess that I would like to have seen the trees a bit more defined.

Christopher, I love the colors and the patterns almost look woven. I'm not familiar with the butterscotch action:o so I'm not sure how it changed the original image but I like it anyway.

Cheryl, The butterscotch action adds kind of a golden, vintage tone to the colors and increases contrast. I got it from here.
Thanks all for the comments.

Christopher, I like the softness and golden glow very much. I too was intrigued by the idea of a butterscotch action :)
Best,
