 Starting to think this style of intentional camera blur is becoming a bit of an obsession with me.

Processing. This is pretty much out of camera. Just a levels tweak to brighten the whites , duplicate layer and apply in soft light mode at 20%

Oh and to satisfy those who don't know which way up it is. It is right way up. Bottom of the trees covered by the HUGE quantity of snow we have :)

The camera movement is very cool. I love the fact that you were able to keep the whites white and maintian the color of the trees.

It does have a "sketch" like look to it. Nice one.

I like how you've kept very good detail on the bark of the foreground tree. The movement creates a very soft, gentle brushstroke without distorting the base image.

Gorgeous, like a sketch coming to life.

I like the way the snow and ice get together to create those lovely horizontal lines and the trees and their wonderful textures sway in the opposite direction. Nice delicate blurred patterns, would be another way to look at it.

Great blur shot, I can't work out if the bottom is on the top or not, very nice ;)

Beautiful processing -- reminds me of a Chinese watercolor.
