Black-eyed Susans Blurred

i know this was the theme like a year ago, but dont sue me. i'm normally slow to play the games. found these beauties locally at the American Orchid Society and they begged me to play with them. hope you like it. probably my favorite from the day. really no post processing. pretty much straight out of the camera.

thanks for looking. comments and critiques much appreciated.

One of my all-time favorites of yours Harold. Really nice in-camera blur. Colors and pattern are very,very nice.

thanks, neecy!! i thought you would.

I like it too! Very cool that you can still tell they are Black-eyed Susans.

nice visual Harold....for my taste a bit off the bottom would strengthen it a bit

Harold,
I like this. I almost always try to figure out why I like a particular image, because I think that helps me to see better when I'm out with my camera. Often it's some formal aspect of the image design (composition, lines, shapes, textures, etc). In this case I think it's the subconcious emotional response to a well-done impressionistic rendering. It immediately invokes pleasant memories of warm summer afternoons spent in similar fields of flowers.

For those of us aspiring to similar results, can you share the shutter speed you used, and describe the camera movement?

chris, when i get back to my home computer, i will be glad to get the exif data for you.

thanks for the comments everyone.

Very sweet abstract, I really like it, son :)

chris, sorry it took so long. i forgot. the shutter speed was 1/4s. guessing at that time i was moving the camera in a diagonal direction.

thanks again!

Thanks, Harold!
