Panned Abstract

These are small begonias dotting the sides of the path walk in the garden.

D300S, 50mm F/1.8 Normal lens with 3 Stop ND Filter @ F/10, 1/8 Sec, ISO200, Handheld and Camera moved as the shutter was closing.

I am not quite happy with a relatively large green patch along the left which is why the presentation now in lean times

All thoughts are welcome. I do understand pictures like these might not have universal appeal.

Perfectly executed. beautiful smooth blur and you still managed to keep some of the blossoms recognizable. One of the best motion blurs I've seen.

Well done Ram. Perfect pan speed for my tastes. Some bloom have pretty good definition as well as those "blowing in the wind"

If you were up for it, a simple cloning could "fix" the green patch.

Yes, Bob

- if I ever decide to print this, I'd resort to cloning.

Really well done, Ram. Love the mix of the three colors. Personally, I have no problem with the empty space. Adds a touch of realism and keeps from looking like a computer creation.

Ram:
I was wondering when you were going to post your avatar image. Just lovely. I like it that some blooms are still well define. Nice color palette.

Beautiful. I second (third) the cloning thought, and I also love that you can still see the blooms, which is really unusual from the motion blurs that I've seen.

Ram: Something I really haven't played with but want to. I think it turned out pretty well. I wondered where the avatar came from. Well done.>=))>

What a beauty Ram! It's a type of photo that I never tried but you make me wish to start.
Ram, I like the two green paths that cross vertically the image, that give direction and structure to the composition. I like much less the green patch in the LBC. Splendid painted pastel colors.
Cheers.

This is pretty cool, Ram. Looks like flowers blowing around in a breeze. The definition of the blooms makes the shot.
