    Default Sea oats blur

    A close-up sea oats blur. I used Nik>Contrast Color Range, then slight dry brush, and I decided to put a slight bend in them so I used Distort>wrap around.
    f/32, 1/10 sec., ISO 100.

    Thanks for looking. Comments & suggestions appreciated:)

    Soft and sweet Cheryl, I like the distorting you added it's subtle and gives a nice flow. The layers of color in the BG are wonderful.

    Nice work, Cheryl! The diagonal layering of the colors looks great!

    Thanks, Denise, Paul, Johan and Ken:) I added the slight curve because the sea oats were so straight standing there (like sea oats do) so thought it would add a little interest.

    The colors are soft and beautiful. I like the bend as straight lines can get boring, to me anyway. Well done!

    TFS your technique. Very nice outcome. The soft colors and lines really make this.

    Beautiful composition, Cheryl. I too love the soft colors. I like your idea of adding distort. Nicely done.
