Hazel, I like this experiment and find the combination of blurred flower and static flower compelling. I wonder if you could get a little more punch from the image by playing a little with the color. Making the static flower more colorful or whiter might make the image more intense.   Posted: 04/03/2026 18:08:37

It is always good to experiment, and this makes an interesting picture. Perhaps adding a different, complimentary, colour as a vignette might introduce some control and contrast to the redness.   Posted: 04/06/2026 09:29:10

I like what you have done. The flower is sharp and the color is good. Maybe just a bit brighter on the focus flower.   Posted: 04/09/2026 14:53:56

Intereting and effective technique. But so much red! I would consider selecting the flower and changing it to a cotrasting colour.   Posted: 04/09/2026 18:26:40

Well done, Hazel.
It mmight have been easier to fix the flower stationery and move the camera?   Posted: 04/10/2026 16:26:42

I quite like this image Hazel, the static flower with the one in movement makes an interesting combination. Well done.   Posted: 04/15/2026 11:23:05

Haze;l, I ike the concept. the method could be different, but to making the flower stationary and moving the camera. The flower would then be also moved around. You could do it with two images. One which depicts the motion of the flower for a background and the other a single, stationary shot of the flower. That would also give you the opportunity to change the color of the flower., Blend in PS the two. I tend to also think that there is too much red and the image would require some other color. However, the final product is definitely interesting and creative. Keep trying new ideas. Good job.   Posted: 04/16/2026 17:51:43

P.S. You could also make the stationary flower brighter and that might be enough to separate it from the background.   Posted: 04/16/2026 17:55:21
