I have posted couple of other views here in my blog > http://journeythroughnature.com/blog/20 ... ree-series

Very well made Shiv, What I like here is the abstractness introduced by controlled shake. I wanted to see the first image in you blog in large size but looks like you forgot to link to the larger version. Thanks to Vikram Sathyanathan, I now have samples of **all** of Hahnemuhle's fine art papers. I *think* this will look very pleasing on either William Turner or German Etching paper of them.

Coming to the topic of blurred vs sharp image I think our ability to see and make images moves along a spiralling path. The accidental blurred image we made during start of our photographic journey will be very different from the one we made after 10 ten years of attempting at *seeing* Honestly speaking I can 't understand modern arts but if I think no one understands it then you know where I stand Same goes with photography too. Everyone has their own scale and interestingly everyone is right in this world ! So all that matters is how much we ourselves believe in it, the conviction we ourselves have in such treatment of our images - rest who cares..

Shiv the controlled blur works well on all counts. I think Ganesh made a very pertinent point. I think visual artists keep trying various combinations. This works is something one can fall back and sit and enjoy with pleasure.

"all that matters is how much we ourselves believe in it, the conviction we ourselves have in such treatment of our images - rest who cares..." is what makes this forum special than others.
Shiv, i have tried and experimented a lot on different subject with 'controlled' blurs, have not achieved what i want. If this is what you thought to be the output and got it, i say it is a quite a bit of work, well made. Enjoyed these images.
