Why the sudden hate on flower pics? Sometimes, the situation presents itself and you gotta take it.

What about a porno-flower pic such as this called "morning wood":

This is not a hate thread. I look at this thread like Bitter is slapping people on the back of the head saying, "Come on, get creative!!". lol

Mishele, how do you get those "blurry" effects?

Love these Bleeding Hearts - unique flowers, even if you're a flower hater.

If you're referring to the unusually textured look of the DoF, I think you can do it by using a slow shutter speed and using a translucent material or waving a solid material in front.

I was a tutorial on it online somewhere, but I can't find it now. Whatever the technique, it can create some really neat abstracts.

Flower shots aren't ever going to be extremely creative. They are mostly symmetrical by design, so angles are very limited.
