I saw this kind of effect in an art photography magazine and it took me weeks to figure out how to achieve something similar... I had my diffusion filter on and moved the camera slightly up and down with my hands. Obviously the same effect can be accomplished by a slower shutter speed, but I usually like to complicate my life by doing things the hard way... ;-) I hope you like it... (my contest entry.)

With your experimenting you have create a very original entry for the contest Mary.
People may have some promblems to recognize it as a 'forest', but that's quite normal for contemporary art.

Good Luck!

Regards, Cornelius.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience

You used the effect well. It's not an easy technique to use to achieve a beautiful image - I have tried it but haven't had great success, but you did it. A FAVE from me for technique and aesthetic.

However you do that, I think it's really cool! It looks like an abstract tree image. I love the colors. Nice post, Mary.

Very unusual HF. You always come up with something unique for contests. They must stir your juices.
Good entry and good luck.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I can relate to doing things the hard way! Love the effect here...you have taken full advantage of the light and expressed it as it must have seemed at your very first glimpse.

Missed this one until now! I love the movement and color tones. An interesting technique. The optical illusion makes it even more fascinating. Think it would be great large on the right wall.
