 Actually this is a blurred image of a cluster of three pine trees. The main trunk of the one just makes it look like there was only one. I didn't really know what to do for this challenge but I decided for this. It was sort of inspired by what I read in an old Outdoor Photographer magazine where one of the columnists was describing "drive by" shooting. Purposely blurring the landscape to create a beautiful abstract image. Will the DPChallenge crowd like this? probably some will; and others won't. I don't really know if this necessarily fits the challenge either? I hope you can find beauty in it.

Oh well... Thanks for reading. estimated score... my brother said "5.8673" which is a good sign cause he usually guesses low.

Not sure what the subject was so definitely blurry enough! Great abstract feel and while it may not be messy enough for some voters, I like it a lot.

Looks like artwork! Very nicely done. This one really caught my eye, the one dark green streak is what makes this great!

A nice delicate abstract.

Excellent! Love the abstract and title. Simple border draws it all together nicely. Great natural/earthy and sky colors. The brown trunkish item seems out of place, but fits with the title.
