 I tried to create the WOW with unusual color and softness. I can't use sharp tools, so I decided to go extreme soft and make it a dreamy look. I'd love to rotate, crop and give it a little contrast. SO, It is what it is. It's just a little unusual for no edits.

I have to comment to this just so I remember to look at it later and see how you did this. It's a beautiful photo, very evocative and good mood, and the tinting is perfect for it, as is the blur at the sides. Very much a memories-of-the-past hazy feel.

Nice effects. Not sure why someone would challenge this - unless they're not familiar with filters and/or camera abilities. Nice work. Good luck!

Nice shot however I think it would have worked better without the blured areas left and right.

I'm afraid the fuzzy filter doesn't work for me.

I think this might be better without the faded effect on the sides. The filter made the overall color a little too red also I think. The subject and framing is great however. 6.

I don't like the orange. Good effect, but overwhelming. good subject choice though.
