Sunflower Macro Blur

[Brendan Dozier]

Experimented with some macro blurs indoors a little before sunset, with available window light and some pop-up flash. Slight rotation, crop, Topaz DeNoise, and some burning and dodging.

Brendan, It looks like soft flags of color. I like the transparent look to the petals.

[Steve Adkins]

Agree the transparent look is cool. I like how the blue shows through in some shadows. The combo of blur and firm edges is very appealing. Well done, Brendan!

[Judy Howle]

I like the flow of the blurring and the transparency of the leaves. Well done!

[Brendan Dozier]

Thanks, Denise, Steve, and Judy!

Brendan, love the colors and the amount of blur to this one. Very nice!
