Friends, this is the Indian Paintbrush flower, getting tired of my mundane flower shots so I am experimenting with radial blurs.  This effect can be captured in-camera by twisting the zoom barrel while exposing.  Since I had already taken this image in the field, I chose to add a radial blur in photoshop.  I really love photoshop and learning new skills.  What do you think?, you can sign up for  this newsletter in the column at the right, I blog every day and try to photograph every day, especially in the warmer months. til Tomorrow MJ
