hi jeff - like the idea of what you were going after here - don't mean to offend or anything - but just my personal opinion on this one, I don't see anything to hold my intrest - not a strong enough pattern to hold its own as a abstract and/or not enough detai/action to make it as a Blur.
mind you thats just my two cents - others may love it and thats what ART is all about :)
Thanks, I was trying something different and it did not work. I appreciate the honest feedback, that's what I seek and your opinion means a lot to me. Back to the basics.
Hi Jeff,
I agree with Mr. Peters' assessment...there is not anchoring point, perhaps if the composition were different, with a more centralized space, or perhaps a vertical on this same flight formation would have been different...suggestion work on it some more, because I do like this motion blur; the wings look like brush strokes from a water color canvas...:D increase the saturation levels and the contrast just enough to make your birds pop out and crop into a vertical. Repost it, I want to see it...:):cool:
Hi Jeff ... actually it did work !!! Only wish you could have had some separation in the birds just like you would in a sharp image. Since its a blur, trying to catch the V shape wave also helps.
Wish you would keep at it, blurs are difficult and multiple that much more !!! Great eye !!!
Jeff, I love it. I think you have a nice blur scene-IMHO I would add some canvas spot heal a few of the dust spots run a pass of NR and maybe add a bird:p Hope you like it-if not the circular file! Anyway I'm on my lap-top so I may have done a hack job,but you get the idea. It's a wall hanger if it were mine!!!

I agree that this is an interesting and creative idea. I hope you keep at it. The fact that one's first attempt does or doesn't work doesn't matter much in my mind. It is the continuing to try to refine and improve the images that makes all the difference.
Cheers
