I am almost positive I will get beat up for this but I it is interesting to use a technique that I am sure that nobody else in this challenge would dare use. I am also sure I will get voted low because people think this was done in Photoshop. It was done with a zoom on a slow shutter by rotating the zoom ring while depressing the shutter.

if this is a motion blur from ps then I'm sure it will be disqualified.. this is one of those images that probably started off looking great but you don't know when to stop processing!
Well done! You added some creativity to a more traditional composition and it workd beautifully for me. A more blue sky would have had more impact maybe. 8
cool. I like it, and I hope others do as well. I also hope you did the zoom "in camera" so to speak, so this wont be DQ'd after challenge.
the title is the weak link, but for the life of me I can't think of a better one. best of luck
It's an agressive effect but does work well. It's hard to say now, of course, but if that was a wheat field then the image might have been pretty nice without so much zoom.
