Windmills of Your Mind (View Larger)

The idea here was to purposely use Gaussian Blur to present the

flowers as if in a dream. I also used Pixel Bender to soften them further.

I can see what you were going for here. I really like the softness on the subject and the bokeh! mostly the Bokeh, i'm sorta addicted to it. But this is a great shot and does create that 'dream' like theme to it. Kodos my friend.

leo,  this one just really grabs my imagination.  soft and dreamy.  find am starting to wait in anticipation of what your next creation shall be.  lovely work my friend!

The processing you did works very well -- it's perfect for the subject, and I like the mood it creates.  I'm glad you were able to include the green plant in  the mid to upper left; it fills that space very nicely.

Thank you!

Your encouragement spurs me on, Roger. It's as shame that flowers don't have a greater audience.

It's always a pleasure to here from you Stephen and that you have an appreciation beyond the landscape. Thanks for your encouraging words.

The original Raw.

Wow, quite a difference!  Your processed version elicits a much stronger emotional response, IMO.  I'm glad to be able to see the amount of work you've done and how far you've taken the original.  Great work.

Thanks Stephen, I do appreciate you kind words.

Lovely one.  Best Regards,
