Swallow Blur

Taken at Sandy Hook. I added the Fractalius program. I'm thinking not better but different.

hi Denise, this is a bit uncanny as I used the same technique on an image of a flock of swirling Snow Buntings I recently photographed and wasn't sure about the results. I like the abstract quality of both of them, but I think you said it well.. not better, but different :)

Denise - Fractalius is definitely addictive - I'm fracting everything that moves:D

P.S. How do you post a before/after the way you did without halving the size of each image and pasting
onto a new page?:o

I like it! I love the stepwise highlights of the wingbeats - looks really cool.

Cheryl, I just add canvas to the first image using the same height or width as the orig. image depending on the orientation. Then I add the other image by dragging it onto the added canvas. Then save for the web at BPN size.

Thanks folks I appreciate the feedback!

Very nice blur, Denise, and I like how the fractalius emphasizes the swirling lines of the birds' wings. Well done :)

Nice image and application Denise.

I like both about the same, but think the after is different therefore worth showing.

I think it could use a little more open area on the top, as the left two birds are bouncing off the border, as it is! ;) But ...

Your image, your vision.
