I like the diagonal effect here, Denise. I wish all the flowers had the same color punch as the ones in the ULC. Very nice overall effect you achieved!

Thanks for the feedback !!:)
Julie, The only part of the image I wasn't crazy about was the ulc so I decided to use Roman's favorite tool and cropped it out

[Dave Phillips]

love these blurs.....the colors are superb here.
This is not a suggestion.....just a play with your image because I
had this weird vision studying it....kind of like a "Green Earth".
I know you don't mind Denise....thanks

Rotating, getting a diagonal effect ? That sure is ootb :), nice colors. Cool theme selection Denise. The variations are just overwhelming and well visible here this week.

Peter, I rotated the camera and it created a radial spin look-but I cropped this so you can't see the full turn.:)
It's amazing how many different styles of blurs there are and how fun they are to create!!

Neat image to begin with, all my blurs are not really much to share. I wish I could have something so appealing myself. Dave, what a cool repost. Mate, you do have way too much time! :) I will try something along those lines myself. Thanks for sharing (everyone)! :)
