These images were a complete accident, as when I was walking in our tropical rain forest, I had my camera in my hand, I kind of slipped, and accidentally touched the shutter button on my camera, and it took two motion/blur photos.

This is the result, and I was completely surprised to see a vision of a ghost or spirit in one of them, and the other just a pleasing motion/blurred abstract.

Doesn't anyone like my spirit man..... I was so amazed, when I saw it, as he looks like a man walking or running..... He reminds me of the bottle of scotch whiskey "Johnny Walker" with the logo man on the front.

well,,,, wow,,, the King of the Gardens.,

I really like it, I love how you have the three together, I think you should frame them and have them on your wall outside so he can protect the garden.

These are great, and I really like the triptych you put together. I love abstract photography, but have never been very good at it. Way to see the potential in a happy accident.

I can't say that anything this nice came of accidentally tripping the shutter, but I do do a lot of "clandestine shooting" that occasionally produces some good stuff.

Cases in point:
