Judging by past reactions to entries my using light motion around a flower(s), I should not have bothered. I entered one, Light Motion Still Life in the Motion Blur Challenge in March '04 . It got a 5.15. The second was recently, Galactica in the Painting with Light III Challenge, June '07. It got a 5.54. An improvement. Figuring that this one is actually better than the other two and hoping it might fit this challenge better, I'm thinking a finish just below 6.0. So thank you in advance. I could use a 6.0 or better...I'm beginning to forget what that is like. LOL!
Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0 with a +0.33 exposure compensation. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Crop. Crop again for 1.50:1 aspect ratio. The crops were to get a bit of off white streaks out of the top of the image that I did not like. Sharpen. Resize. Shapen.

Nicely exposed flowers with a colourful backgroung combinr to make this an excellent interpretation of the theme. There is a lot to look at and so it retains my gaze.
