Self Critique
I feel that I captured the atmosphere of trees blowing in a summer breeze. But I’ve been getting negative responses from some quarters and need an objective sounding board.
Creative direction
Looking for that summery feeling of looking up at the trees.

Technical Details
This is built from two ICMs taken with 0.5 sec exposure and two exposure of 0.4 sec holding the camera more or less still. I combined them in Dark blending mode on the computer.
Description
Floating in a boat on a lake among islands with trees. It was a breezy day, and very idyllic.
Hi Madeleine, this is a wonderful result with the impression of wind. It also looks like a water reflection. I think you have achieved that feeling of looking up at the trees. Your technique sounds quite interesting. I don’t really have any suggestions for improvement. Nice work!
Wowza! I am really really liking this! Was just talking to another member about abstract and how others postings is making me want to be more creative and try more techniques. I really love this and think it would be a fabulous large print on a wall. Well done!
