Photo Art Friday - Minimalist

This week's theme led me back to an image I took one early morning at the beach about a year ago.  I love the look of water that is photographed at a slow shutter speed with a neutral density filter for a soft dreamy look.  Unfortunately, I do not have the technique mastered.  Far from it.  The original image was a flop, but I held onto it anyway.

I did a lot of manipulation with photoshop filters and adjustments before adding texture.  It was a lot of trial and error.  But I finally got a soft and artsy feel I was going for.

The colors are soft, summery, and soothing. It has the hint of an impressionistic painting.
