...wafting softly... maple and flower scented so sweetly past my nose :) Again we're at the Sugar Shack. I had such a great time there, and it's only a small, typical store off the road. This Black-Eyed Susan played Hide-and-go-Seek with me, waltzing her way with the wind, the sun and the shadows as I was photographing their beautiful lilies and finally I had to turn my lens her way.. :)

♥PJ 005

EDIT: Again, this is better if seen at recommended size

Perfectly clear and lovely. It does seem to be moving in the breeze and the lighting is beautiful, as well!

The flower looks lovely but what surprises me is that you got such a clear shot from a waving and weaving target. Great job, PJ.

She deserved to be captured with your camera so her attention seeking paid off. She is just as beautiful in her own way as the regal lilies.
Exceptional clarity especially with a moving target and her colours and stance are great.

This sort of shot is one that someone here suggested would make a unique flower shot and it does indeed break out of the mold of the usual flat flower shot by adding a little movement into the image. I applaud you for this shot, PJ. Dare to be different, my dear friend.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I love the name you chose. "Waltzing in the Wind", as poetic as the image itself! :)
The movement in this picture does make it feel truly alive! How did you achieve such clarity in a moving target?
