    Very nice zoom blur and composition work. Love the colors and that frame is pretty serious! :cool:

    Paul, For a man who was on the fence about blurs you really nailed this one. The zoom and the colors are great. Nice to see some detail in the flowers that are at the origination point. I like the frame for this. Thank you for all your help as Artie said and thank you also for your kind words.

    PS-The title made me laugh!!!

    Really nice Paul! I like the placement of the unblurred flowers! That looks like an expensive frame:)
