Assignment: Orchid Blur

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I have posted this one earlier but have reworked it a little. Did a NR in Topaz Denoise. This is my orchid in a pot that was blooming at the time. My question is does a blur need to be effective to be zoomed smoothly. This one is not. I find it adds a bit off interest, but I would be interested in other opinions. Cropped from the top and left. Cloned out some stuff in the LRC.

Not at all Jackie Just zoom as you wish, noticed in some of mine at the start there is hesitation then I zoom !! The overall effect is very nice and the flower shapes sure do help !!!! Big Congrats !!!
