    Default Floral blur

    I tried several different ideas for this theme and ended up liking where this one went the best. :)

    Some little white flowers in the garden, blurred at 1/8 sec with the 400mm f/5.6 @ f/32. Then I used Topaz Adjust 4, some extreme red and yellow saturation, curve layer to tone it down, and finally a sandstone texture.

    Great theme and a lot of interesting images again this week!!

    Vibrant colors and the diagonal lines make this image stand out. I think the use of texture adds a nice touch. Nice work Kerry.

    Kerry, I just want to bury my head in this one - really beautiful colours and patterns and the texture takes it over the top :)
    Best,

    Excellent colors, Kerry. I like the crayon like texture.

    The colors, diagonal lines and texture all work so well together, Kerry. I do believe the texture took it over the top, though.

    If you toned down the SAT and the sandstone I would have loved this one. Care for a repost? :)
