Thank you so much, Melissa. I really appreciate your kind comments. I was fortunate enough to have a friend on this trip with a really good eye. Heather Young, BetterPhoto's customer service star, told me about this great compositional possibility... framing the barn between the cherry tree branches and the tulips below. Using a super slow shutter speed while zooming, I was able to create the blurring special effect.

Thanks again for your nice remarks.

Artist and creative.

Colors and blurring effects are outstanding.

This would be beautiful framed.

Love this.

Your straight shot of the tulips and barn is one of my favorites, Jim, but this is a very effective and creative example of zooming!
Bravo!

Thanks very much, Deborah and Kerby. Tulip season is quickly approaching again - better get the rubber boots and umbrellas out. :)

This reminds me of a Christmas lights zoom shot I took, which I will be using for this next Christmas Season's Cards. But it does not touch this shot Jim. Guess I'll have to get me an assistant with as much talent & an eye for the truly colorful creative ones.

Love the zoom effect and how it almost centers on the barn in the background.

Thank-you, Ken...for the kind words. That shot really came together nicely, but I know that it can be topped, so give it a shot!
