I’m not really a huge fan of blur… this was a complete accident. I was photographing a waterfall and these ducks came right up close, so I snapped them, but of course my settings were all wrong… It’s really grown on me as an abstract though! :)

    Hi Mieke, this is ChrisArmytage in my other persona :)) I love this, it makes a great abstract, the colours are wonderful! Blurs can be great, I have a similar one in my portfolio labelled as my favourite mistake … love these happy accidents :))x

  • Thanks, Chris!! :) :) :) I couldn’t find your “favourite mistake” photo though! :(

    This really works well! What a delightful accident!! I can learn from this in that I often delete things too quickly without really looking. Thank you!

  • Thanks, Ed! Yes – sometimes you have to be looking at things from a different point of view to see the beauty in them!

    Oh it’s way back in my portfolio, here I’ve been meaning to take it out, it’s not nearly as good as yours :)))

  • Oh, it’s lovely and soft… I can see why you’d keep it! Beautiful!

    It looks great Mieke, would look good on an iphone case too :)

  • Hmmm… haven’t really had time to do the iPhone case thing yet… might give it a try! I reckon Desolation might work well too!

    I love it… sometimes life just hands you a special image like this…

  • I love how you put it, Tom! Yes – just occasionally, Art is like that. A special gift indeed. :)
