ICM\Creative blur

[Dagwood56]

This is more of a creative blur image, but slight ICM was used in the process as well as quick short turns on a zoom lens. I prefer a faded pastel look to many of my images. I like the dreamy quality it tends to add. My images are all single shot in camera ICM's, not double exposure, not made in software. Editing is limited to contrast, color adjustment, crop etc. and dust spot removal..... I do hope there aren't any dust spots this time. I used a levels adjustment layer so I could see the spots. Husband went over photos again and I went over them yet again to correct anything he messed up. He really has no idea what he's doing and was working from the instruction sheet I gave him. I was thankful I only heard the words "I did something wrong!" a few times along the way.

Very nice; I'm not on a proper monitor right now so I can't say for sure, but I kind of think it might not hurt to bump the saturation a smidge.

Thanks, duly noted.

Nice, soft, dream-like image.

Nice one. The only spots I saw, were the ones on my monitor screen that I need to clean. LOL

I really like this one. The colors are great. You have some very interesting and beautiful images on your flickr account.

Very nice. I like your style.

I think a few well placed dust spots would improve this image.

Just kidding.

I feel the same..just a TINY bit more saturation,perhaps.

Beautifully done. I think you do well using balance in your compositions. For me, I'd prefer for it to be just a little bit tighter since the color is light/pastel against a white background, or as mentioned adjusting saturation might make a difference. But I think slight is plenty of adjustment, if any.

Very pretty. The almost horizontal light line detracts a tiny bit for me.
