Waiting for my 48 hours to go buy so I can post this in Photo Art. I thought I would post it here to get some feedback from my home crowd.
Another in my "blurry trees" series. This time I went for maximum density of tree trunks to create a tapestry of texture and color. Not sure if the one dark blue area is a point of interest or a distraction. Thanks for comments.
5D, 70-200mm f/2.8, 1/4 sec @ f/29, ISO 50, vertical pan in camera, curves, saturation, corner burn.
I would like to see a little more dark blue actually, as I think it provides a cool color contrast to the yellow, but I think there enough hints of blue along the top that the bluest area on the left isn't too distracting, although my eye gets hung on it a little bit, but I think it's a really cool image. A great artistic expression.

I like the coolness with the warm colors too Sean. I also like the feathery stream-like look to this image. I was playing with a crop of the darker areas on the left and right sides of the photo and that seemed to concentrate and highlight the blue tones even more. I liked both versions because the dark tones provide a nice bookend contrast to the image too.

I was actually out doing this a few weekends ago also. Had fun, a few turned out ok. I like the textures and lines. Even more blue may be nice also. :)
