One more abstract ...

To follow up on my other thread, here is another "panning" image that I've worked up. For those who find these appealing, I'd like to hear your comments on this one. Thanks!

I like it. It has a nice painterly feeling but still looks natural. The selective motion blur and high key to the aspen trunks works well for me.

I could see a portfolio of these working well. I bet this would look nice printed on canvas.

Excellent ! I like this one even better than the last.

I think I prefer this one over the first one. It does have a nice painterly look to it and it is easier on my eyes. Nice Job!

PS.. I sent you an email.

It's amazing! How did you manage to keep the form and texture in the boles while blurring out the foliage?

I like it a ton, as said it looks like a painting. Very cool, Jesse!

this is sweet like totally dude

Very nice, I wouldn't know how to do that if you showed me how to

Fantastic, Jesse! I think I like this better than the first one too. I'm guessing this is a composite? I ask because the trees are sharp, but the rest of the image is panned. This is incredibly creative.

Great job! I like this one better than the first. I'd guess that's due to the more vibrant colors. The no-motion on the trunks, somehow makes them look "stark" to me. And creates a different emotion than if they also had processing.

Wonderfully fun to create these I bet.

This might even be better than the last one!

I much prefer this to your first post--the colors are more vibrant and the aspen seem to 'float' in space here, a nice effect. I still like #2 from your previous thread the best.

Way cool Jesse!

I agree with Todd, I believe this is better than the first one.

Looks like you're going to have a great series of images with these! I like this one too, but so far I like #2 from your first post the best.

I love this image! Looks very abstract. The colors really stand out also.

Jesse - I really like these abstracts you are turning out lately. I think this one and the second image in your first post work the best, as they have an in-focus element that accompanies the blur. Great stuff!

Jesse....this is very colorful and well seen. Great job as usual..... I had to find the previous post mentioned....I like this one the best...regards, Rajeev.

I do find these type of images appealing, and this one especially. Very nice! I'm interested to know how you kept the detail in the bark with everything else blurred? Was it an actual camera pan or a digital darkroom 'pan'? I ask only because I really like it. To me it is the end result that matters.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Should be a fun project.

Jeff, this one is pure Photoshop panning. Blurred layer on top of sharp layer, and some creative layer masking.

Absolutely love it. And I agree with the others, this one beats the 1st one, but not by much.

This is super sweet! Nicely done.

Awesome image. Beautifully captured and processed. Love the frozen trunks and the colors are fantastic.
