Oh man I love the finished look of this blur in the trees or not, it's a beauty! tigs=^..^=

Chris, first of all thanks for the done effort in striving for perfection.
Like to say that your effort (and skills too of course) have resulted in a wonderful manip. Think however it's better to speak from 'creation'.
If one should complain about the blur(?), think he or she will have to do an attempt to achieve a better result. Think I already know what the result would be.

Hi there Chris, how are you feeling?, very nice work as usual. I'm considering bringing a couple of new pics in here

Like it a lot - looks appropriately seasonal with Halloween coming up. You're far harder on yourself than any of us could be my friend.

This seems surprisingly natural to me ,your HDR work is top notch again. There is mood to this , one that is inviting and makes me want to be there. A critique , feel like I shouldn't , its so good. I wonder if a little straightening would improve , I am not sure on this. When I question my photos and it doesn`t seem right , hard to see a tilt sometimes , I try one and see. Fav.

Spectacular posting, really like those gorgeous wooden railroad bridges. Well I don't mind the blur of the trees makes this a very moody and haunted look

Very nice work Chris. I hope you get better with that hip real soon . I would like to see the next step you may be contemplating in this image. It's a real eye grabber like it is.
