    Default Palm Frond Blur

    I see that I have missed many great postings by everyone while I was away. Just getting back into the swing of things around here after arriving home at 3 am Wednesday. Lots of images to process, thought I would post this handheld palm frond blur first.

    Look forward to comments.

    Sweet colors and blur. I would love to see one with the light area in a corner and the fronds radiating out from that...

    Very cool blur Andrew! Like the rich color and pattern you created, and palm frond was good subject to choose for this.

    Andrew,

    Good to see you back.

    Beautiful colors and blur. Love the pattern created by the intersecting yellow lines. Nicely done.

    Andrew, It's nice to have you back. I really like the composition, the amount of blur and the pattern. Very nicely done.

    Very nice blur, Andrew! My thoughts are the same as Artie's....if that yellow area was in a corner with the fronds radiating out from it, this one would be over the top!

    Welcome back, Andrew! Very lovely blur. I love the colors and the radiating yellow lines. I think it might look even better if you turned it around, placing the yellow area at the bottom like the sun rising.

    It is a very nice blur and I agree with Christopher on placing the yellow area at the bottom.

    Thanks folks for the comments, very much appreciated. It is good to be back. I'll create an alternate version as suggested by Christopher and see if I have one with the yellow area off to the corner, but I don't think so...might have to create that one. Thanks again.

    Andrew,
    Good to have you back. Now the work starts.
    Beautiful approach to this colorful, abstract blur. I like it a bunch. Many possibilities for comp/crop so... have fun!
