7th Place
Poetry in Motion

by Helen Betts

Washington, D.C.

Oh, I tried so hard at the last minute to do something for the challenge! Problems with the tripod, problems with focus (obviously), problems with light, problems with the drops (of all things), problems with time, problems with post processing... this is the single shot I was able to take; when I went back to start over again, the light was gone and so was my picture. I'm only entering it because my husband says he likes the unfocused aspect of it, as if the drops were in motion :-).

I think this turned out great. The overall balance of color is very nice, and with the soft focus it gives an overall dreamy feeling.

Nice capture - I love the color, and I agree with your husband about the blurriness of the reflected flowers - it looks like the drops, with little flowers inside, are moving!
