I like it Denise. It's a really cool texture - it almost looks like skeins of wool.:)

Fun to look at! The pine cone pattern is easy to see and interesting from all the different angles. It looks like there is a critter stretched out in the UR corner.

coincidence....I just posted a piece of a pine cone.
Nice texture in this blur.

Just for variation on an already nice image, try deepening the shadows a bit(IMHO)

[Ed Vatza]

Very interesting blur. I particularly like the textures present in this image. Nice!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Very nice blur with beautiful tones D, I can see it printed on canvas and stretched on a frame.

Thanks folks I appreciate the comments.

this is really good, denise!! how'd you do the blur in camera. trying to figure it out, but i see too many different types of movements. looks like something i would get from an overlay!!! whatever you did, it's well done!!!!!

Harold, Thankyou I appreciate the kind words. No secret just a slow SS and a polarizer-and a bit of movement in the direction you'd like the blur.Fopr this one very,very slight diagonal movement. I saw your last blur it was fantastic! When I come to Florida maybe we can get together at a pier or beach for some early morning blurs.
