119/365 Watercolors

I tried something new for this photo. I set a very small aperture so I could use a longer shutter speed, then I focused on a part of the center flower and while the shutter was open, leaned toward it.

That's what gives it the motion blur along the edges. It makes me think of watercolor paintings, with the flowers colors blending together, giving it an ethereal quality.

Fun! I spend so much time thinking "make it sharp, get the focus right" that it makes breaking out of that box a challenge.

Camera: Canon 40D 1/6s, f/29 at ISO 100 in sunlight at about 7:45 p.m.
