If you check OOTB frequently (which it seems most of you do) than you know I have been experimenting a lot with slow shutter stuff recently. The newest challenge for me has been to blur but still retain an impression of the image--blurred enough to look painterly, but not so much you lose the image. Palmettos are one of my favorite plants; they have great lines and such a prehistoric look. Here's my favorite new creation, sunset in the palmettos .
Exposure:0.077 sec (1/13)Aperture:f/11Focal Length:420 mmISO Speed:100 Exposure Bias:-2/3 EV
thanks for the critiques and comments

Good work, Chad. I like this very much. I would suggest trying to get rid of that blue blur at the top of the frame as it does pull my eye from the palmetto plants. The rest is really well done! I especially love the lighting in the FG and the darkness towards the BG.
