[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is actually a flower arangement I bought for Valentines day. I took the shot on the kitchen table using available light. To get the effect I zoomed out from 300mm while pressing the shutter button, I chose center weighted metering to get a higher shutter speed from the light bouncing off the bright center of the iris. The flowers are blue iris and tulips.

PP:increased saturation, contrast, sharpened and resized.

Very Hot colours. Thank you sharing way of taking photo.

Hi Dennis,
I've done this technique before but never with such a fast shutterspeed. Looks really good. It turned out to be a nice abstract. Nice work!

A nice experiment, Dennis. Must have been a quick turn on the zoom ring, at 1/60. I really like the colours here. The large version would make a nice screen background I think.
TFS.
