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

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

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

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

Thought I'd try it on a train from files - had a bit of trouble in the middle due to my not being careful enough with the selection but I fudged it so my mistake is a bit less visible! Nice and simple effect with lots of possibilities thanks Tom for finding. Here's my after and before: Tony

One more - this one didn't take a lot of converting to black and white because that's its basic colour! A royal albatross - one of the largest seabirds - 4 ft long and a 10 ft wingspan. Shot was taken at the Royal Albatross Centre in New Zealand. Tony

One more - a very unexpected find on a morning walk. There's a small cabin along the walk and decided to shelter in it from a flurry of snow and cold wind - and found the seating already occupied! Tony

Good subject - nothing flying here at the moment but here's a gull from the archives: I'm sure I'll find more later. Tony

Reflections in the River. Normally not this wide but recent snow followed by melting and rain has it at flood level. Tony

R is for a Ravenous Red Cardinal in the Rain . At this time of the year they are very fond of safflower seeds in the bird feeder and they certainly help brighten up a dull, wet day. Tony
