Confession, the blur is done in PS. I feel that this is somehow cheating, because all the blurry shots I have entered into challenges have been done in camera. However I like the effect of erasing the blur in some places. And this is a side challenge where playing with layers is encouraged, right? So I shouldn't feel like it's cheating :)
I know how you feel about the Post vs in camera, but as long as you know you can get it right in the camera, I feel you have the license to play to your hearts delight.
regarding your comment, i think this is a great use of the tools in photoshop. the artistic side of you exploring more deeply with each portion of the image.
Heh, who says it's a cheat?? In my mind, the means justify the end. I really like this. "Alice in Wonderland" is what I thought of. I can see the Mad Hatter appearing, or the rabbit scurrying about, trying to make sense of it all.
