Cranes Drinking
This is an in-camera blur that I took while in Bosque. I added a curve adjustment to make it more high-key. Then I added a black border and created my own crane brush pre-set from another image I took while in Bosque. I used the vertical type tool to add my name. Last year I made several chop brush pre-sets so I thought I would try something else this time.
Really like this one, the colors are great. Love the layers, Would love to see Bosque....do you folks do a workshop there?
Jay, Bosque is gorgeous and something to see. Artie runs workshops there and Roman does too. I will also be back there doing a "Blurry Day in Bosque" Workshop again next year.:)
Denise, I love this blur and the tones too. Your crane brush looks great you should use it as a logo. Very nice work!
Beautiful of course Denise. The cranes, colors and black border are nice for the Asian theme. I see that you are trying a different type of approach with your sig and the crane brush. For me this is so western that it really cancels the Asian feel. Maybe a red circle around your crane stamp would send it to the East! Love the blur and it is very cool that it was produced in-camera!
Thanks folks I appreciate it,
Dan, I had a feeling it was too western. I never thought about a red circle but will give it a try-thanks!:)
Denise, this is so beautiful. The reflections in the water look like calligraphy. I hope I can be there next year for the "blurry day" workshop:)

Loverly, and I love how you make the ugly vegetation look beautiful with the squiggles. An option would be to go vertical pano with a crop from the right--it would work perfectly with the cool vertical signature.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
Artie, 17 years in a row! Wow!!:) It was an awesome trip.
Hi Denise, I like the effect, layered BG, and the soft pastel colours. Your mind has endless creativity. :)
This is very artistic, Denise. I love the pose and colors. I also like your framing with the black border. It has come out very nice.
Stuart and Indranil, Thank you both for your kind words. I appreciate them:)
Denise, I love the colors and composition. All the layers from top to bottom mesh together for a wonderful image.
Thanks Patti!:)
