My favorite yard

[Cheryl Slechta]

It's my favorite yard again. This was a blur I took in November when we had a little bit of fall color. I did levels and H&S.
f/29, 1.3sec., ISO 100, +.3EV

Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

One fine abstract image. A great example of "fine art".

Hi Cheryl;

I love the feeling of getting lost and finding a wonderous place.

Wonderful presentation bringing a thought and idea to life.

Well done Young Lady.

Monet does the fall woods...beautiful image, Cheryl. The serene blend of pastel colors...the merest hints of texture and detail...great image. One small nitpick..does it need a VERY slight CCW rotation?

Cheryl, I love the soft color tones and the lack of contrast really adds to this. If it were mine I would take a healthy slice off the top, just because I love the lines and repeats and a crop from the top would accentuate them. But this is just a suggestion and may not be your vision for the image. Nicely seen.

Denise, I like the crop I think I'll try something in between yours and my OP to see what it looks like also.

[Gus Hallgren]

For my 2 cents worth, I like the crop as it takes away the short white wiggly lines, and adds depth.

Beautiful combination of softness, color and energy/power. Love it, Cheryl!

Love the the lines, energy and soft pastel colors of this blur, Cheryl. Agree some cropping would make compostion even stronger. Like how you can create beautiful art right from your back yard. Nice work!

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Cheryl, I vote for the crop also. This is a fantastic blur and I just love the squiggly-look to the blur. Lovely work!

[Bob Miller]

Hi Cheryl......lovely blur and in your backyard....awesome! I too vote for the crop. Can I ask what motion you made for the squiggly effect?

[Cheryl Slechta]

Bob, it was just a pan blur, there is spanish moss in the trees, and I probably panned from the ground up. There's also the possibility that my hands weren't quite steady - it was a long exposure
