 To get this shot, I used a large mirror underneath some dried lavender that I arranged in a circle. I set my camera for a 4 sec. exposure and used the timed shutter release. When the shutter was open, I zoomed the lens in short increments.

I'm not really getting much of a sense of 'motion' from this. I can see the zoom, but the overall piece remains rather static.

I like the colors, the gold lines are very attention-grabbing. :D

This is probably one of my favorites from the challenge. I'm sorta curious how you achieved this motion. It looks like wheat/grass combined with stalks maybe? But how did you move it to create this....will have to wait for the end of the challenge.
Regardless, cool.

Nice capture and well titled. I might have boosted the color a little.
