Great shot! Beautiful colors! What does one have to do (if you don't mind me asking) to produce a shot like this!

@luvmynynix @aglennc Thanks for your lovely comments. The first time I knew about ICM was last year when there was a Technical Challenge 16 - and I had a try and failed!! A couple of weeks ago I had another go and finlayy it clicked. You need to have a slow shutter speed - in this case i used F/22 and as you take the shot you move the camera up or down. As the shutter is open you get blur but it is in the direction you have moved the camera. Well worth having a go - its great fun. In Photoshop In increased saturation a bit to get better colour. This is the link which may help you understand a bit more. http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/19970/technique-challenge-16-intentional-camera-movement
Good luck and just ask if you have any more questions. There is always someone who will be able to answer you.

Great result!

Lovely colors. Could be dripping paint.

The colours are really beautiful Pam and the frame really sets it off. I think I probably looked a bit strange moving my camera around then frantically checking the screen to see what result I'd achieved. I also had to enhance the colours a bit too! Great fun though.

Turned out great. Love it.

I love it! Great job.
January 14th, 2014  
Well done. Just enough movement that we still know what this is, and enough blur to present it as a mysterious abstract.
January 14th, 2014  
Beautiful color tones and light. Very well captured.
January 14th, 2014  
Wonderful! You've nailed it! Love the colours and shapes and the light is beautiful.
