Yucca Blur

1/3 sec. at f/22
ISO 400
+1 EV
HH, overcast natural light
The first pane the camera was panned straight up. The second I kind of twisted the camera a bit. I like the second but my friend liked the first so I am posting both. Same settings for both.

This is the other one.
Nice image and application, Denise.
While I like both with the second based on the angle of the lines, I like the patterns of the lines in the first one more. I find that the absence of the "white lines", adjacent to the green in the "center", is the main issue with the second one. But ...
Your image ... your vision.
As you know! :D
Denise,
I like both as well. I think I prefer the second because of the slightly higher saturation and the angle of the fronds.

Denise, They are both very nice. I like the first one but can see why you like the second one. Colors are soft and pleasing.
They're both lovely, denise. My preference is for the second for its great diagonals:)
Denise, love them both but prefer the second because of the diagonal lines.:)

I like them both. It is interesting how different two very similar images can look. Not only due to the angling of the lines. The saturation looks a bit different, and the colored lines don't look the same. Nice work.:)
Like the second D, very pleasing both, but I like the twist in there gives it a little extra OOMF:)
I like them both and prefer the 2nd one but I have a lot to say :). The first one could be a bit darker and a bit more saturated. The stragglies in the lrc are a bit distracting. The 2nd could go just a bit darker. Lastly, for the 2nd one my preference would be for the dark green strip to enter the frame from the corner of the image.
Where did you make the image?

Thanks for the comments folks. Much appreciated.
Artie, They were taken outside in NJ.:) The straggles are the fraying that the fronds have-I did like them and tried to include them. As for the color saturation,they are not very saturated naturally and pale yellow is one of my favorite colors and is what attracted me to the Yucca in the first place. I do agree that the first one could go a bit darker.

A wild plant??? Are they native to the NE?

Artie, It is not native to the NE . They are drought tolerant plants that have large white flower shoots. This image that I took is of a variegated Yucca. I like your repost, it is a tiny bit too narrow for my taste.:)

I tried to rotate #2 too but there was not enough there so I tried a pano crop to bring the dark strip in from the corner....

I really like them both, Denise...now I have to wait for our yuccas to get going to try this out! I think preference-wise I'm with you on #2...but if I hadn't seen it I would be loving #1 as well. Wonder if you could get a tryptic out of these??? Now that might be really interesting...
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. Much appreciated.
