OCOLOY Day 93: ICM - Everybody's doing it, doing it...

... so I thought I would too!

I'm not normally a big fan of this type of image but I thought that this captured nicely the sad mood of the forest today... given the dull weather.

A forest makes a good subject for ICM as you get the great vertical lines!

[Graeme Stevens]

I like it, even if it does look like you seized in the middle of the shot ;) I've never done this either as it doesn't really appeal to me, although I do like some of the results

[Rachel Withey]

This is great ICM - clear enough to make the subject recognizable but blurred enough to add atmosphere to the shot

[Kathy]

Interesting ICM. Looks like the trees shaking in the wind.

[john morley]

Sometimes there's to much focus so a little ICM is OK, You executed it perfectly..

[Jeff in VT, USA]

Very well done. Nice choice for b&w, too..

[Taffy]

Yes, terrific! Great result.

[Brett Jennings]

Actually I like this effect, and how it adds an abstract nature to an image.

[Rosan]

Neat effect.

[Issi Bannerman]

Works really well in b&W.

[Margo Sayer]

Had to look up ICM. Like this Fuzzy Wuzzy effect.

[Christine]

Like the effect

[Yvonne Andrews]

Sure does!

[PTP: Past their Prime]

Works well in b&w for some reason, Richard.

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Wow great ICM shot, looking at it on black makes the woods look disturbing but cool, I like.

[Jasper]

@vignouse indulging in ICM. I never thought I'd live to see the day. Whatever next?! ;-)

[Richard Sayer]

@jasperc Shhhh - soon everyone will know! I don't know what's next, but it definely won't be selective colour... there are some depths to which even I won't stoop ;-))

[Sally Ings]

This is one of those times when I think ICM adds to the scene.

[Fisher Family]

I'm not usually a fan of ICM, but in this shot it works well.

[Andy]

Cool shot and like the effect

[Sheila Norris]

Interesting! It makes me feel like I am reliving a slight earthquake I experienced.

[Jane winfrey]

Fav :) It does have a sad, moody look to it. I like it :)

[DbJ]

This one works a lot better than many I have seen

[Joan Robillard]

To me this brings to mind the severe winds we have had on several days lately where people have died in their cars from dead trees falling on them. So kind of chilling to me.
