    Default Vibrant Blur

    I created an in camera blur of a local pond's surface, then increased each of the color's individually, via saturation slide bar. The purple color is reflections from wildflowers on shore.

    What do you think of this blur? Be honest I am thick skinned...lololol......

    I look at this, at times I think its cool, other times I think its just a blurry image..

    Paul, I think it's a cool blurry image! I like the abstraction and colors. I might lighten up the darkest areas but that's your call.

    Hi Paul, nice abstraction and I too like the blur colors. I am with Kerry on lightening up the dark areas.

    I love the colors. Lightening it up might be good.

    Paul, I like blurs and I love this one. The colors are great - instead of lightening I think I'd crop off the top just above the dark area and have it as your anchor (leaving in the fuschia line at the top) But that's just my 2 cents worth.

    Love the colors and the abstract look Paul, It reminds me of a watercolor painting I once saw.

    Hi Paul, I think Cheryl made a good point regarding the crop. I like the swathes of color but would rather not see the small lines that are in a few areas...

    Paul, I'm sorry to go against the grain, but I prefer the original.
