 These are clothes hanging at an outdoor market. I tried several techniques: motion blur, rotating the camera, manual OOF, and zooming. I got several interesting shots, but the watercolor look of this shot, done with zoom flare, appealed to me the most. The title is supposed to be double entendre: the watercolor wash, and the clothes on the line.

I thought this was pretty cool. It was like the clothes were speeding into some kind of new dimension. Fun photo!

Cool! Looks like a frame from a Clorox commercial... one with magically exploding clothes-bursts and sparkly whooshes! Punchy and vivid - also looks great as thumbnail. Nice going!

congrats on the fav! Those bold colors are amazing and I really like how they appear to explode from the center.

Nice colors, I was wondering why I could see tree outlines until I read your notes, lol. I think this was a great take on the challenge.

I'm not sure how the subject holds up to the psychadelic effects you've used to present it. It's more amusing to me than anything for that reason. Good job!

a cool attempt, however I think that the bright highlights are really over powering, and therefor take a lot away from the photo.
