Rose in Motion - Rachel

A quick image today as I have a ton of work to do and I would spend HOURS distracting myself with the camera if I were to allow myself to delay. Now that I've posted an image I can forbid myself to think about photos until I am done with the real work. This was my attempt at "painting" using a slow shutter speed and changing focus during the shot. I have ideas on how I would like to try this, subjects which might be interesting, settings and lighting scenarios, but as a first attempt here's a rose from my backyard.
