fear, trembling and a faint smell of roses. A bit of the vertical drape or the edge of the proscenium a touch sharper would have made my day!

Having tried to create such an on purpose blurry shot as this, I know too well how difficult it is. It reminds me of a Gerhardt Richter painting. This photo is ethereal, post processed perfectly - I love the tones in this shot - I hope to be able to create such a photo one day. Maybe you will share your technique? I voted earlier - a 9

Interesting use of blur. The basic shapes of this image really come out and make something special.
