Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it very much. This was just a fun shot to play around with. Nothing serious. Thanks again.

Excellent shot. The shutter speed is perfect because you got enough blur to convey motion without making it into a coloured halo. It also imparts a deep/shallow DOF at the same time... the image almost pops out. Great job .

Polariser,

Thanks for noticing the DOF. I took several shots to get this just right. The motion was a little difficult to capture as the wind was not consistent; the fish tails would spin violently one second then come to nearly a stop the next. Thanks again.

Hey CF, this is really good. I really like how the back thingie is spinning and the front one doesn't, makes it seem like an optical trick. I'm not too fond of the background, though there was probably not much you could do about it. Nice find,

GB,

Thanks much, again. Both this and the ONE Image shot were taken at Seaport Village. There isn't much I could do about the back ground. This shop was right on the sidewalk at the harbor. I had to set my tripod partly on the sidewalk and partially over their fence.

Thanks again.

The background in focus really bothers me. Likely a ND filter would have allowed you to keep the exposure but have a shallower DOF.

Great idea btw.

MB,

Great suggestion. Thanks very much.

Awesome photo, as mentioned before, I love how the shutter blur makes the central section pop out
