 One minute before deadline.

Very simple setup: camera hand-held, 1sec. exposure. Focus on flowers and start rotating the camera before your eye, and while rotating push the release button. What I found interesting, is that to get an impression of a full circle, you don’t need to rotate your camera 360°, just 10-20 degrees is enough.
Here are some outtakes from same photoshoot:

Absolutely wonderful! couldn't think of a thing to change. I especially like the bits of purple. I'm thinking I might know how you did this--and I want to try it. But I hope you put the details up for us.

I like the spinning flowers. There appears to be a bird face to the upper left-hand corner that maybe my imagination I like it either way.
