STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

The tones creating a really nice filmic look - something I am still working on.
Thank you, Mike. Frankly speaking I am not satisfied by this shot.
For my own information, what are you not happy with.
I think the hands are the problem. They draw your eyes away from her face, try cropping them out (Down out of frame would have been even better), I think the top of the dress would have framed off the bottom. I like the light, maybe 1/3 less on the fill so the light drop off was more dramatic. I like the photo very much.
Thank you for your comment.
