Playing around with a photo. I added Radial Blur.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Gorgeous Anita, just like a sun burst of colors. Beautiful yellows and reds, great work.

Really well done zoom blur. Very "trippy". It really sucks you into the shot.

It feels like some sort of illusion. Love how the image draws you right in.

The zooming effect is very well done. I like the sharp detail in the center with the special touches to the edge. Fine work.

First reaction: Wow. Then I felt disappointed that my reaction was driven by a photoshop effect. Then (reflecting on the comments) I realized that it was the choices you made in using that effect that drove my reaction. Thanks for the stunning image and thanks for giving me a new perspective in thinking about the art of image processing
