Labours of Hercules
This took me two days to do: I had to extricate the train from 158 layers of yellow, and supply my own railway track, and of course provide the background scenery as well. This is my best!

Terrific. The motion blur is really very effective. If I may make one very tiny adverse comment: To my eye, the combine harvester is too fast. Lovely piece! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Labours of Hercules
Thanks everyone for your comments
David you never make adverse comments: only constructive ones! Yes, you're quite right: it (the combine harvester) is too fast: the train needed 0.08 timing, and the combine harvester suffered as a result--in spite of small movement increments.

Re: Labours of Hercules
So is that what you used as your start point. The blur is entirely your own? It's very convincing. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Labours of Hercules
You're very observant David: the question mark is well-deserved! I didn't pre-blur the train--it was already blurred for me.
