Flowers, but differently

[Chataignier]

Our club is still working towards our forthcoming exhibition at a major flower festival. The trouble is that we feel the need to stay on topic but simple shots of "pretty flowers" are a bit boring. After much discussion we came up with the theme "flowers, but differently", images of flowers, but shot or presented in an original way (my Camelia shot of a couple of weeks ago was an early attempt).

Here's a later idea : motion blur achieved by taking multiple shots and rotating the vase after each one, then blending in PS.

Hi David,

This doesn't work well for me. Perhaps if you kept one clean shot in the foreground and blended a much paler version of the rest in the background. The background shots would not even have to be lined up with the foreground.

I love the ethereal look. The composition is interesting, maybe more so than if the full arrangement were displayed.

Has this image become overly complicated and confusing? But I think there could be alternatives using this technique.
