More Monet than Picasso this time.

Amount of blur is just about right, but the very prominent tree in the center destroys the dreamy effect.

Not what I would call a NH shot, more pictorial, but that aside, still an excellent shot, well visualised and taken.

Very beautiful. Surreal, peaceful yet interesting.

I slightly agree with John on the tree in the middle. I think perhaps another tree on the right edge of the frame to balance the one on the left would improve the composition. Otherwise, I think your execution of the effect is perfect, and I really like the effect. I take it you panned the camera up / down? Did you use a tripod? What was your shutter speed? Sorry for all the questions! Cheers, Jeremy.

This was the evening I set out to shoot some local red kites whilst walking my dog but the sun had set before I had got into postion, so my camera set up was slightly unusual for executing these shots - Oly E-3, 50-200mm lens plus tc. Techs of the shot were hand held, 95mm (ie 190mm in FF land), iso 100, F4.5 wide open and 1/4s. panned slowly vertically so very little effective movement.


Hope this helps
