Theme: Blowing in the Wind

[Christopher Miller]

I photographed these Jerusalem artichoke flowers that were in our garden back in September. This photo is actually the reflection of the flowers in a nearby rain barrel. The breeze and the motion of the water created the motion blur. Any comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.
