Spinning the camera from its strap while shooting gave me a good center with less motion blur.

Hi there from the critique club.

Nice shot and spin. It's chancy but like several other previous commenters, I found it worked for me. Your choice of crop also shows a lot of thought went to this image, and I like the composition not being centered, despite the fact that there is a very strong central image point.

I agree that the background perhaps is too muddy and could be "balanced" perhaps with lighter tones.

Congrats on your ribbon this week :)

Interesting effect. I like that you took a chance with something different. The center, lit-up part is gorgeous. I like the impressionistic feel.

great creative idea and presentation. colors away from the flower are too brownish for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of motion-blur photography, but I can appreciate it for what it is. I like the colors and that the pistil/stamen (?) of the flower is visible

Camera movement during exposure can produce some very interesting effects. This image feels a little out of balance. This could be due to the juxtaposition of the light and dark areas of the image. In general, light areas on top and dark areas on the bottom work best however in this image I think having the lighter area in the bottom right would improve the impact of the image.
