    Kind of a scenic Blur from Ding Darling. 1/10 sec. at f/22, ISO 100 manual mode. I liked the additional foreground, your thoughts?

    Hi Denise, I like the blur and unexpected detail in this one. It looks like you made a fairly small camera shake at the beginning of the exposure, then held the camera still for the end. Nice look and lovely whites. I think the foreground is ok, as it adds depth to the scene.

    Denise, I like this blur and the foreground works for me. I like the blur effect on the left-most bird.

    Denise, the camera shake has turned out well, and I like the surrounding elements. This gives me a 3D effect with the greenery looking like a wall of an amphitheatre. I like this lots.

    Denise, I really like the foreground and would consider removing some of the BG to emphasize the FG. My thought is to remove that sort of pinkish top part that dips down into the darker green part. Hope that makes sense .
