    Default Scratch Art Blur

    This is my theme interpretation of scratch art. I created this in-camera blur at Little Estero at first light. The golden edges of the water appealed to me. I processed it in Nik Color Efex using the midnight filter. I am wondering about the golden color-should it be more desaturated? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

    1/5 sec. at f/16, ISO 800, 500mm lens, Tripod.

    Denise, very interesting and I think the saturation is fine. The technique that is used is to create the white reveal, then color is added to the result. I think these are great fun and am looking forward to what our creative group comes up with!

    Denise, this is nice abstract sketch art and I like the it! I too think the saturation is fine and works well with the theme. Nicely done.

    Hi Denise, the saturation is just fine with me, and I like these type of images with the waves running up the beach.

    Denise,

    The saturation works for me as well. I love the curve formed by the shoreline as well as the dreamy look created by the blur. Well done.

    I love the softness of this, and the little shorebird adds a lovely touch. Very serene.

    A very nice abstract image, Denise. I love the composition and softness, and the golden color tone is perfect.

    Denise,
    I like the intensity of the gold color as is. Maybe even adding a little more intensity.
