This last fall I decided to try out the blurred vertical tree shot, most of them I made turned out horrible. The light at Kenosha pass this day was terrible but I did get some descent rainbow shots after it finished raining. I feel that this one is pretty good. C&C is always welcome.
Hi Jim, wonderful image. I'm really interested in this type of work!
Colors are great, and create a nice mood. I really like the comp. The trees on the right, lead me into the image. Also like the leaves on smaller shrubs in the foreground.
Only nit I've got would be possible dust spots on the camera sensor. There seems to be one in the very upper left. Then another on the middle of the rightmost tree.
I didn't see those before... I will have to fix that when I get home this evening. It is impressive what one person can see in seconds that another misses after quite a bit of time looking at a photo.
I like this one quite a bit.
The leaves framing the top and bottom make this pretty unique.
This is really an interesting technique. Recall what your shutter speed was here?
I'd like to give this a try sometime.
That is great. I really like the artistic feel to it.

Thanks everybody for the comments. This particular had a shutter speed of .6 sec. I have found you have to have somewhere between .5 & 1 full second to make it look right, even at that I have had only a handful of images that I consider keepers.

This is a very nice abstract. I like the rythum, and the color.
