This is a ginger from my yard that I blurred in camera (f/22, .4sec., ISO 200 with a 100mm f2.8 macro). I added
a Nik Classic Soft Focus, then a slight Topaz Adjust, Venice and dup layer, soft light blending mode at 20%.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.:)

Love the colors and the blur, but I can't figure out the blur. I was trying to see how the camera moved, but some areas seem to be blurred differently than others. I like that it is a mystery - just adds to the abstractness!

Cheryl, great colours and blur - I could happily get lost in the landscape :D
Best,

Love the colours Cheryl and the blur too. Might add a bit of canvas at the top if you have any.

Patti, I think it was a lateral move to the right, there were a lot of curves (or it could have been the creaky knees, tired of squatting and getting bitten by mosquitoes blur):D

Jackie, I added a bit of canvas on top and cloned in everything that's there including the flower tip so I didn't want to
add any more because I thought it would look fake.:o
