Abstract Blur

[Cheryl Slechta]

I had worked on this ages ago - it started out as a very muted fall leaf blur. I did things to it but I have no idea what and I added a Nik Color Cross Balance - Daylight to Tungsten to brighten it up.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

I think with blurs you really can't go wrong (unless its an unintentional blur, even some of those can be cool), by that I mean "blurs should appeal to one's eye" which this one surely does. Lovely colors and balance throughout ...well done

Cheryl, This is my absolute favorite of yours-and there have been a lot. Gorgeous abstract with beautiful colors. I love it!

Hey Cheryl,
I Really like Paul's expalnation in regards to blurs! I'll have to remember that! I think your darker color.....is in a VG location.....so the flow works very well!!! The balance works great in this as Paul mentioned.....very nicely done!!!

I really like the color and patterns (sort of..) in this image. Works very well and really pulls me in...

Paul, Denise, Roman and Nick - thanks so much I wish I can remember what I did - I think some Topaz filters, I might have done a Nik tonal contrast and then I know I did the Nik cross balance filter because I did that tonight (which is about my memory span:eek:)
And it's amazing what you can do with a clump or brown leaves on the ground.

Very lovely blur, Cheryl! One of your best! The fall colors are so rich and it has a very pleasing flow. Well done!

I agree with all the previous comments and it is also one of my very favorites of yours! Looks like a wall hanger to me!

Not sure how to respond to blurs and abstracts. They are not my favorite types of images. However, they usually have fabulous colors, as does this image. I would use this image as a texture!

Lovely dark colours throughout, and they all blend in very well.
