Morning, Avi, Looks as though you were experimenting with panning too. I really like the background part of the composition in which a few flowers are partially in focus.

Interesting experimentation.

This is the best abstract I've seen on this forum yet. Outstanding!

A small crop from the left for balance and this makes quite a treat. Nice concept and well done!

Hi Avi,

Nice photo. Have you been reading Freeman Patterson books or something?

Pete D. also reads Patterson but can't achieve the artistry shown here.

No!!!!! but I did 2 workshops with FREEMAN @ ANDRE. One in ISRAEL @ 1 in CANADA
This is a tequnique I have been doing for at least 20 odd years.What you basically need for what I did is a tripod long lens and some wind,
iso as low as possible and if nescessary to get the shutter speed down to at least acouple os seconds 2-5 depending on how strong the wind is .
Today with digital it is a lot easier as you can see the results immediately and then proceed to do changes
GOOD LUCK
AVI :wavey: :wavey:
