    I have a bunch of these in a series, but I kept coming back to this one for a theme post. Camera blur with the 400mm, f/32@1/15 second. Did a levels adjustment to correct for a little bit of underexposure. If it weren't for the theme rule, I would evict the brown blob in the left part of the image.

    Kerry, When I first looked at this I saw a soft color palette-the more I look at it the more I start to see all these interesting lines, neat!

    Kerry, I really like this....a very interesting patchwork blur. I don't expect to see sharp angles and lines in a blur.

    Isn't clean up cloning allowed? I've always considered minor cloning as a standard adjustment.

    Thanks guys!

    Ken, my take on "straight out of the camera" is that there is no manipulation of the image. I consider adjustments like sharpening, color balance, etc. to be "standard" adjustments. Cloning is a change to the arrangement of the pixels and seems to me to go against the concept. Maybe I'm just too literal.

    Cool Tech-no-Green Abstract, Kerry! Sort of reminds me of a shadow of a building. For me, the "brown blob" is not a problem. Neat to see this type of effect from a blur. TFS

    This is a cool blur result, Kerry! You really created an interesting pattern with many layers to it. Well done!
