Yacht on horizon by seanoneill

Yacht on horizon

A shot from our holiday last year with some motion blur applied to blur and flatten the sea.

I doff my cap and thank Richard @brav for his very easy to follow tutorial.

@simon0128 @miley89 Thank you both. @brav deserves most of the credit for introducing me to the motion blur filter. As soon as I saw his tutorial I knew I had a shot for it!!
