 An evergreen bush with some dead leaf bits stuck in it in the morning sunlight. I have to say this effort has been a real revelation to me! I had a hard time picking one to enter because I got several abstract images that I actually liked. I never would have experimented with this waving-the-camera-around technique without this challenge ;-)

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, cloned out dust spots (I cleaned the camera and lens but still have TONS of dust and hairs, dang it), levels, white balance, increased saturation and contrast, decreased gamma, resized, sharpened with noise reduction.

Yes! Blurry and messy and engaging. I like the colors and the "brushstrokes."

hehe looks like you're attacking a mosquito w/your camera "D the colors are interesting enough & the 'square-ish bokeh' is different. I like the accents of white. 10
