HMWYBS - In-camera - Winter Color
I haven't done many blurs, but this was one that I really liked. It's a vertical pan blur that I took last winter of some young pine trees. I had posted it previously in the last abstract theme.
Olympus SP-550 UZ
f8.0 @ 1/20, ISO 50
Manual mode, pattern metering, cloudy WB
PP consisted of curves, saturation boost, a slight orton effect, and a little lightening of the edges
Christopher, I really like the layered look. If anything (and it's not needed) I would take a little off the top. I love the colors and the white at the bottom really grounds this one for me. A lovely blur and I would encourage you to do more. :)
Christopher, I love this - the amount of blur, the colors - it's really very nice. I think you should do more of them:)

Very appealing image Christopher. I do hope you try many more blurs! Love the abstract feel and look of brush (or pastel) strokes. I would also take a small bit off the top, just to lose the couple of white streaks at the top. Nice work!

I like to do water reflections like this. This one has wonderful color separation and I enjoyed seeing it!
The colors and blur amount are very nice. It's a wonderful abstract that I could see hanging on a wall!
Love it. Is that snow on the bottom? I love the COMP as is but a smidge off the top to 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 would work well too.
Young pines in the front, mature ones in the rear?

Thanks very much, everyone. I appreciate your kind comments.
Yes, Artie, it's snow at the bottom, young pines in front, and mature ones in back.
Beautiful work Christopher - the orton effect works really well here and the colours are magical :)
Thanks Nicki! :)
Christopher, I think the layers make this nice. I agree a tiny bit off the top. You should do blurs more often this one is great! I'd hang it on my wall.
Thanks very much, Michael!
