This was indeed a Snap Shot. I was at a farmer's pumpkin field this afternoon and saw this spinner. Took 2 quick one-handed shots of it just to see what would happen and this is what did. Oh, where is a blurry challenge when I want one...
No crop, adjusted the blacks and played just a touch with the colors to intensify them. That's all.
Lovely fall colors and I like the sense of motion. Very nice.
Question? In a couple of shots you have said you "adjust the blacks". How do you do that?
Wow. 98% of the image is blurry, and yet together with that 2% that you kept sharp it makes for a great image. I'd say boost the saturation a good bit, but other than that you've captured an excellent shot.
