This seems a departure from what you have seen so far, but it really is not. I called it "A Rose of Esfahan." In the West they might write it as Isfahan, or Isphahan. Persians pronounce it with a short "A" sound. It is created by moving the camera physically with a very slow shutter speed. Nothing new, but the result is more interesting than directly capturing a rose.
In practicing photography, sometimes we see the objects in our environment as they are, sometimes we become a bit more creative and observe them in unusual angles, sizes, orientations, etc., and sometimes we create images by moving the camera. It is also possible to use the shutter speed to change the "real" into something unfamiliar. These are all exercises in creation of new images that challenge viewers perception of what photography has been, is, or ought to be. (www.alfaphotography.com)
