@30pics4jackiesdiamond@northy Not at all offended Jackie. I found the following extract in Northy's Technique Challenge No.36:
'Now "blurism" seems to cover a multitude of sins, but i tend to think it works best when it hints at the subject, when the subject is recognizable in form, but is deliberately rendered out of focus to achieve a specific purpose (atmosphere, mood, etc)... '
I may have misinterpreted her statement, and if so, perhaps someone out there could give me some further clarification! Thanks in advance:)
In this case I prefer the blurred version. I usually decide according to instinct, then I look for a reason. I think that is how I can learn. This colour contrast with warm red and cold blue is very beautiful - also how these colours are organized as spots in the image format. Due to the blurry, the forms are abstracted very strongly, the objectivity is present, but is in favour of the autonomy of the colour.
I prefer this image over the sharp version. But it doesn't mean that all blurry images are better than the sharp ones. It shouldn't become an airy manner, I think.
I do prefer your negative space one, but this has an ephemeral delicacy
