Photographer Comment: I know, I know.. it's not moving.. but it surely does Look like movement, doesn't it? I shot this potted Gerbera in the open shade of my Mom's porch. This image got no "special FX" Photoshop treatment beyond some saturation/exposure/brightness enhancement and closer cropping. The blossom simply had this zooming effect within it, when photographed close. I used a Tamron macro-zoom, which gave me 1:2 ratio, which I cropped a little tighter. It's a fair-sized blossom, to begin with. The neon cyan is the sky, reflected in the glass behind the blossom. The softness in the outer petals is simply lack of depth of field.. no zooming at all, before OR after..
