I brought in my first handful of fresh daffodils this week and was playing around with them today. I decided to do some blurs since so many of you were doing bird blurs this week and I came away with a few images I really liked...this being my favorite. I found out putting it on a long exposure and simply handholding it made the best blurs...your natural body movements will make the best patterns in most cases.

Jules, The high-key BG really adds to this. With just a hint of sharpness it's fantastic!! Don't see you doing too many blurs-maybe you should do more this is great!
