    Default Playing with blur

    This image started with me shooting macros of a Rudebeccia type flower in my backyard. As I was finishing up , I decided to play with blur by rotating my camera at various shutter speeds...I got some interesting blurs that i began to play with in processing....... fractilius x2 , color efex brighten/ darken, brillance warmth, ....then in PS I added some blue photo filter and radial blur with masking at all steps to selectively apply the effect

    Bob, I like the colors on this one. Nice job with the amount of blur and the flow of the image. I might take some off the bottom if it were mine.

    Bob, beautiful colors, wonderful effect....Denise makes a nice suggestion about a sliver from the bottom. You're having way too much fun with this techinque!

    Hi, Bob, this is a great technique you've invented. I think I'd like to see just a hint more of the center revealed. But I like it as is also.

    Love that electric purple center, Bob

    Really nice job on this. I agree with Denise's crop suggestion.

    Love the colors and the fract app, Bob. I wish that the app of the upper left blur was present in other parts of the image though. It's a beauty!
