twisted the barrel while shooting at high aperture low shutter.
post challenge notes i barely got this into the challenge. at 11:58 i decided to risk it and just go for it. i had another shot that i had submitted, but i chickened out on that.
when i originally processed this, i used advanced editing rules. it wasn't until about 11:30 that i actually started considering this, and re-editing under basic rules. the results were fairly close, but there are recognizable differences. i'm just glad i got it in, especially considering the kind comments i received!
it just goes to show, sometimes, it's worth taking the risk...
the other shot

thanks for all the kind comments. i felt like i was taking quite a risk submitting it, and i'm glad i did. it's good to know that sometimes these type of images can make it through a challenge without being completely picked over ;-)
here's another sunset, cropped and framed a bit differently, but shot using the same technique
Great zoom technique. Love the colours and softness. Looks like the camera moved though a bit up during the zoom. Would have been perfect shot if on tripod.
This is a very appealing image. The subject, composition & colours all complement the overall effect you've chosen. Can't decide how much of what you've done is in-camera & how much is after. Either way, it's memorable. 8.
Sweet effect. Great colors of the sky and I like the streaking lines of the trees. I can only guess a little zooming in was used right at the end of the exposure to create this. Looks great :)
