Decided on trying some intentional blur on a small stand of sunflowers.

Thanks for taking a look and for your comments.

This works quite well, Sanjay. The central flower is reasonably sharp and stands out nicely against the zoom movement of the background flowers.

Neat Sanjay. It's interesting to have so many similar flowers in the BG for a repeating motif. Looks like you had good separation from the lone flower in the FG and that helped keep it sharp :cool:

Quite an explosive image, Sanjay ! A neat composition with everything moving out from the centre.

Great effect on this, Sanjay. Had to open the thumbnail and see what was going on! Still, wish the subject flower was a little sharper, especially the center of it-- very hard to do in these zoom effect shots.
