I've posted an original version of this on Flora. Thought that the Topaz streak filter gives quite a dreamy effect

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200 @ 161, 1/125 @ f 5.6, ISO 400; Topaz streak filter.

Ian, looking at both versions I must say that I prefer this one. The one in flora is gorgeous, but the fuzzy/dreamy effect in this one makes it quite special!

Yes, wonderfully dreamy with just the right amount of clarity and focus on the center of the foreground flower. These filters are very fun to play with and this has been used to great effect.
