***sorry,I screenshot your photo,hope you don’t mind.
and THANKS for the shout out..Here’s how I achieved the blurry effect on your photo..Since I’m only using an iPad ( I’ve no pc at the moment😢- I edit mostly on Snapseed app..
1)I screenshot your photo.
2)increased the brightness of the photo until i get the desired effect i want..
3)I add “ blur effect”..there are two styles of blur here: one circular and linear.. I used the linear..
- play the “ blur” around which subject you want to de-focus..in your photo,I blured the sand/grass ,I find it too much textures..
4)now,your choice to convert the image in black and white..sorry,I’m not good when it comes to technical instructions..anyways, sharing you a YouTube video about this editing Snapseed app..and here’s the link

And there’s more instructions vide besides this…Hope this will help..
Again,just pump up the brightness,(not too bright though) then,use blur …… just play around with it..enjoy👌👍❤️
P.s. just did my own version..😍
I feel guilty,I ruined your cool picture, Jackie,pls.don’t sue me💕

Very artistic edit! I am without a computer currently. I do have an iPad but have never used it to edit photos. All my pics this year have been cell phone pics. 😬

Thanks Joe!!I use Snapseed for phone shots and affinity for camera. I need to investigate blurring on affinity!!

Brilliant technical instructions btw
