I'm pushing certain images to a level of "softness," with the objective of creating an ethereal feeling for the viewer. It does not work for every image with which I've experimented, and, I fear that there's a point beyond which I shouldn't push the effect.
So, all feedback, positive or negative would be appreciated.
I don't know what those beautiful pink flowers are, but they sure are gorgeous! (Purple loosestrife perhaps?) Gorgeous picture! I love the softness of the colors!
I like the idea and the image. Could the same effect be be gotten if the image was taken in say, late evening when the natural light itself might be softer?
There's a kind of trade-off here; the deeper shadows that come at twilight create a greater contrast with the softer colors … consequently, every image to which I apply the technique, will be different from one-another. I think, if each is considered on its own, rather than compared to another, that might be the best approach.
I am always interested in feedback … positive or negative.
Opinion only, of course......personal taste thing.......
To me, the second photo looks almost blurry. I like the first photo a lot better. In the first one, I see that balance between "sharp" like your recent bird photos, and "blurry" like this posted second photo. Again, just an opinion. LOVE the work you do, AMac!!
There is probably a common denominator regarding the image components that will and will not work well with this technique. I haven't been able to narrow it down yet.
I will continue to experiment and trash the ones that fail.

Purple Loosestrife is correct!
Good to see you … I had not seen you is a couple of days and was getting concerned.
Thanks, dear A. Mac-- it's been a rough week...
Purple loosestrife is a hugely invasive plant here in KY, but they are pretty!
I love your idea Mac. Love the softness of the photo. I say you keep it up. It puts me into a good state of mind.
Love it Mac. The coloring and the ''softness'' of the photo is outstanding.

I will look through my pictures and give it a try, Steve.
Well, let's see … you tell me if this one works … a much later hour in the day …

I really like this one. Great stuff!
One more … different subject … I personally think this works well as a "soft" subject.
