I think I may have created confusion with my comments. I am sorry about that. The method of Orton-style images was employed for the third image only- the cranberry bush and past images where it was used. The first two images are straight but longish exposures (over a second or more), and that's what creates the blurred look. The water is running over the rocks and seaweed. When the exposure is too long, it washes out the subject-matter, which is OK if that is what you are looking for. It is not always desirable, but in low light it is oftentimes inescapable.
But I thank you for your comments. I always feel like I am in another world and away from the "rat race"- work and chores and so forth- when I am out photographing in nature. I am sure most of us feel the same way. Few people like to hike with me, because I seldom get to where I am supposed to be going. But what's the hurry...
