Default Flower with a small difference.

flower

Ok I have seen many flower pics and wanted to do something a bit different. I was just wondering what people thought of this shot I zoom blurred the first layer then blended the same picture over it. I use Serif Photoplus for my editing (cost effective wise). I know the focus is a little screwy but that is me more than the camera. (too much caffeine). Comments greatly appreciated

Good zoom blur effect. One of the very few images which is really suited to the effect and is actually enhanced by it. Generally this effect makes me feel dizzy and I want to look away. Nice selection for the zoom blur center. The image itself looks a tad overexposed, but that may be just me. Good work.

Kind of a cool effect. I agree that most of these make me dizzy. The image itself - floral photography is generally done in shade so the colors are nicely saturated and so you have no harsh shadows/blown high lights.

lol nope but that is why I thought I would try it out. I quite like it because it is different. That is what is great about art/ photography the differing tastes of it all
