 Not your typical long exposure exposure photograph so I am interested to see how the voters rule.

Shot with 2nd curtain sync. Moved camera during exposure to get the "life force" trails

Photoshop:
Small curve adjustment and some shadow/highlight adjustment. The cropped, resized, and sharpened.

I like the smoky effect here, and how you chose to photograph flowers that are dying instead of ones that are perfect, nice change. I just think that it might be more flattering to the photo if the colors where more vibrant or it was switched to bw. Nice photo.

I can only assume that this was moving roses with a first or second curtain flash.... A little bit soft for my liking.

The colors look washed and the photo has a lot of noise in it. I'm not really sure what that smoke is either. It does fit the challenge tho I just wish there was more clarity. Good luck in this challenge. <6>
