A really good blur is difficult – but you have achieved that.

Hey Rich,

I am fine that you and many others here do not like blurs. Fortunately, for me, the judges in the biggest international natural history photographic competitions often love pleasingly blurred images. My first BBC honored images was Blizzard in Blue, Snow Geese in cold, rainy pre-dawn light at 1/15 second 🙂

Not to mention that I love a good blur skillfully executed.

In addition, I am confused by this: Nature, however, can work beautifully when composition & color provide something evocative.. Are you saying that natural history blurs cannot work beautifully when composition and color provide something evocative.

with love, artie
