A Time to Dance

She danced and turned until summer set.

Using my 60 mm macro lens, f2.8 and 1/125, I shot this Lavatera bloom that was just about to open up. What drew me was the look of a ballroom dancer's skirt. The blur and softness goes to movement, maybe that of a waltz.

When what I see through my lens brings me to other places and times, allows me to hear the music and see beyond what is before me, I know I need to take the picture.
