This week's challenge is dealer's choice on a photographer that inspired you ... I choose Michael Orton. I originally learned about Intentional Camera Movement from his work and later discovered the "Orton Effect"
The first is an attempt to used both ICM and Orton Effect, the second is simple ICM, while the third is Orton Effect. Which one to post?

When I have an assignment like this Pete the first thing I do is to look for some "Inspiration Images". When I did that I found some beautiful landscape images. I know that isn't answering your question but just thought I'd share in case you hadn't thought to do that. Next I wonder if you tried downloading any of the displacement maps that Chris mentioned in this post. It seems to me that it might add some interest to the middle image below which does have a nice sense of movement and a pleasing color palette. Finally, what if you just took a close-up picture of the yellow flower so it is more prominent in the scene. Hopefully someone else will offer their thoughts. |

Peter,
I like the abstract center image best of all three. (Interesting that Helen and I both lean toward it.) The ICM and Orton Effect on the amaryllis is pleasing on the flower, but I find the pot a bit distracting.
The prickly pear flower "pops" well, but the Orton effect (in this case) looks more like good use if DOF and background bokeh.
Good luck!
Clive

Thanks Helen & Clive,
I tweaked the three a bit and decided to submit the amaryllis. I really thought the abstract should have been the submission, but The comments received on the 52frames site it was VERY similar to my abstract submission last week. Helen - I was unable to get the Orton effect to really pop on the yellow.
Clive - I did something about the blue pot.
