Hi Cheryl,
I like the in camera blur...these are the best ones...:D I like the vertical repeated patterns, and the feel is very good...my only recommendation, and its a matter of taste, is to kick up the saturation and contrast just a little not too much...I like to see these babies pop...:):cool:

Hi Cheryl I like what your trying to do but would like something to hold my interest in the forms of shapes or colors Suggestion by Gus should make a difference !!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Cheryl - Great advice from Gus and AL. I dont mind this but do agree with AL something to hold the interrest would be good also :)

Keep em coming :)

Based on the others opinions I was thinking that maybe getting lower with a blue sky behind the greenery would add some nice color/contrast. Maybe a polarizer filter??? It is nice as presented.

Nick, The sky was hot so I wanted to keep it out of the image. I usually use a polarizer filter when I'm doing
blurs but I now realize I didn't have it on:o I've reposted a more saturated version per advice.

Thanks everyone for the advice:)
