I originally did not plan on entering this challenge, but after trying some experimental work with camera movement, I changed my mind. I really like how this one came out, a bit shorter exposure time to give a different feel to the vertical motion of some other shots I have done.
Post Challenge: So pleased with the response from voters and commenters on this. I am glad I was able to deliver this in a way that you could get it.

I love this one Peter...very avant garde, and a step out of the box for you!! The colors and the light are beautiful!! It still reminds me of reflections in water!!
A very strong abstract. Fountains of light. Love the bold dark trees. I continue to have mixed feelings about the use of "letterbox" borders, I find they often improve a photo's impact, but am leery of their overuse.
I really wish more people could appreciate out of the box/abstract images. This image has a very distinct feel to it from my perspective. Almost eerie, almost scary and at the same time ethereal, imaginative, evoking. Well done Peter!
I like the abstract almost brush-like texture which composes this shot. The brilliant golds & oranges contrast nicely with the dark black of the trunks. Fall has a most definite sense of movement here, well done.
I like this a lot! Dragging the camera really works in this image (so often, I think, it doesn't). The light works like brush strokes. The abstraction keeps me looking, imagining grasses and tiny flowers one moment and the odd warmth of an autumn forest on a sunny day the next. Thank you!
Still working on the camera movement, I see. I like this, though I am curious to see if this is appreciated by the masses on the heels of the camera movement challenge.
