Photography in a different light- Blurring instead of sharpness.

As a member of a photo club ( Park West camera club of Manhattan) I am learning more and more what conventional ideas of "what makes a good photograph" are, and getting feedback on my efforts.

I have been experimenting for some time with creating images that go against the grain and am showing some here.

For instance, the current vogue is to have images as sharp and clear as possible. I wondered what it would be like if you tried to blur an image and use Photoshop to pull it together-- did this for an online Photo contest where they wanted photos based on the theme "Red" - a shot taken in Upper Central Park near the Pond  (on some maps called the Loch). Fog and rain...inspired by French Impressionists..
