Here’s a photo I’m intrigued by, though not sure it quite works. The leaves are shot with a long exposure, which results in intentional blur, and lit by a flash, which freezes a sharp image. This often works powerfully, though here it  may muddy the image more than help it.

I’ve been playing quite a lot with this technique, but it’s still pretty hit and miss.
