Theme: Blur, Feral At Sunrise

[Dave Phillips]

This is the feral cat I posted last night for Pet week in F&F.

Made a circular selection larger than the sun, zoom blur. Repeated more than once
while changing saturations and opacity until I got the trees I liked.
Cat on a low opacity overlay blend layer....eyes got a saturation boost by selection.
(FYI, this saturation could also be easily done with the sponge brush on saturate).
Added the family......but they are very oblivious to the feral cat seeking breakfast

Hope you enjoy and thank you for c/c

What an incredible idea and execution. You do have enormous gift for this creative stuff Dave. Thanks for sharing AND inspiring. :)

Dave, I love the color tones you were able to pull out of the sky. The cat's eyes are great, they really make the image special IMO. The blur puts this over the top!! Fantastic image!!!!

Thank you Akos and Denise, so glad you looked in

Dave,
there is only one word to describe this composit...superb...I like all of the elements introduced...congrats...:cool:

[Kerry Perkins]

Dave, I haven't seen anything this cool in a long time. Serious sensory overload, as Al says. The family walking at the bottom just makes this incredible. Super!

Dave, another outstanding composition. Simply love all the elements and the overall mood here...

wow!! that's all i can say. i think this qualifies as surreal and would blow away that competition.

thank you for comments friends

Thanks Harold, are you saying this will "not" qualify as a blur or that it would "also" qualify as surreal?

Love your treatment and colours Dave. Love how the zoom blur has brought out the rays of the sun. Has a very eerie feel to it.
