Nice Moto ! It gives the effect of light from a window. |

Image from Pexels. As you may see for this one once I completed the tutorial I took the liberty of increasing the size of the main subject a little as I thought he was a bit small in the original!   |

Tried a variant on the blurring using path blur in PS to add some waviness - original image cropped from Unsplash   Tony |

One more beach scene - original from Unsplash - sky replacement from ON1. Used path blur and added some extra blur using the new lens blur in PS Camera Raw.   Tony |

Really nice Tony! It adds a touch of abstraction and dream-like quality that, to eye, turns a rather ordinary image into an interesting one.

A question on technique for this effect...
If the subject casts a shadow on the background, should the shadow be retained as part of the subject or burred with the background? I'm not sure which would look "right".
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I have seen some videos using the effect that suggest using a mask to paint back some of the original area where the subject makes contact with the ground to avoid a disconnected look. I have been doing that and it does help I think to make for a more natural look in some cases. Tony |

Just to add that Adamski leaves in shadows - at least in this one: 3 MenTony |
