    Default Bosque blur - roadside trees

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This one was from my trip two years ago. I was standing around waiting for a raptor or two to fly by and decided to do some blurs of the trees and other foliage by the side of the road. I added some Nik tonal contrast, some diffusion from Topaz Lens Effects, and a black border.

    I like it Kerry, nice blurring and colors with just enough detail to make it interesting and mysterious. You know, it would make a great texture!!

    Beautifully abstract, Kerry. It reminds me of a windy, snowy day. Lovely

    Thank you! Judy, I was staring at this last night (it was late...) and I thought "hmm, could make a nice texture". Glad you agree!

    Meant in the best way possible, looks like one of the images taken during the nuclear blasts in New Mexico...nice effect and blur, a real sense of motion.

    Paul, thanks, I think... Bosque is not far from the Trinity test site, so you're probably not far off!

    LOLOL..thats why I said nicest way possible.. what I meant is the image captures the sense of real left to right motion, sometime I wish I could write English as well as I thunk it.

    Hi Kerry,

    This seems to capture the colour and the light without getting hung up about the subject. Really works for me.

    Thanks,

    Gerald

    I love the colors and the overall effect. I think I would like to see just a tad more of the trees...On the other hand I keep looking at this a seeing more in, soooo it obviously works as presented.

    I like the sense of motion. Reminds me of the view out of the truck window at Bosque while trying to keep up with Artie.
