Artistic blur created after the photo was taken,
using Picasa and the focal zoom effect.
More blur…this is called the softened look, also from Picasa.
I love the cubist effect created in Gimp. It’s about
the only thing I can do with Gimp, but at least it’s fun.
There are times when making an image blurry is what a person wants to do, and now there are so many creative ways to do it, and so many different programs, free and not free, that give the tools you need.

All very interesting. Especially like the past two.
These are all wonderful. I love the soft look of the apples. The cubist effect is totally cool! I love playing with that look.
The apples and the flowers both take on a painting-like quality with the filters applied.
I like all three of these, but love the apples. Since I don't really do "effects" in post processing, I was going to skip this one, but now you've inspired me to go play!
Love your great examples. I love the Cubist feature on the flowers. I tried Gimp once and just gave up!
Love your artistic blur examples. Isn't post-processing fun? My favorite is the Cubist effect – so very cool.
Love the blur and soft focus!
i love your eyes….you see with such
a creative heart:)

What fun explorations, Deb! I like the cubist effect — that would make a lovely framed image. The softened apples are also very pretty — something very peaceful about them. I will miss Kat's exploring with a camera series — I learned so much!
Love the apples wonderful effects can be achieved so easily now such fun …visiting from Kat Sloma…
