Hostas

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Did a blur shot of some hostas and a regular one showing all the lines. Blended them together with overlay, lowered the opacity, added a texture layer, and NIK darken/lighten center. Slight crop. Don't know if I should blur it or not. The texture came from the layer I added, it is not noise because it was shot at 100 ISO. Removed some of the graininess.
Comments Appreciated. Thanks!

Jackie, I like the blur amount and the colors. I'm not a huge fan of grain. I think the lines and movement have interest and I like your comp.:) Not sure what you mean about blurring it or not?

Good abstract. I like all the lines and sense of movement.

Nice image and application, Jackie.

Interesting patterns.

Thanks for the comments, D, Mark, and Anita. D, I removed most of the graininess. I meant to say surface blur.

Very cool image! I looked first and then read. I felt as if I could see tropical fish swimming through the image. Great feeling of motion.

I think it looks fine Jackie.:)

Jackie, I really like the abstract look and subtle movement and color. The hint of sharpness in the bg gives it a lot of intertest. Nice!
