The answer is…

Destruction-of-the-Maiden-MISS_MG_8490
Shot before ‘Destruction of the Maiden’

As you can see in this shot of the subject matter in Destruction of the Maiden that I discarded, they were leaves…

I was not happy with this shot, but knew that there was something in these leaves that needed to be told.  So, I wound up combining zoom blur and a bit of twist to get the effect that I was looking for.

In post processing, I did adjust the levels and dropped a bit of saturation to push the color palette a bit more toward the redder end of the spectrum.

Thanks to all of you who checked this out and particularly those who put forth their guesses.

Hope you enjoyed it!!

    “I did adjust the lives” – did you adjust the lives or the leaves? 🙂
    Thanks for the day long acidity and heartburn thinking about the source.

    You were definitely the closest! It looks like my typing got the best of me, as I adjusted levels, rather than lives… How many lives could I possibly adjust? Sorry about that!

    Of course, now that I look at this image again, I noticed something about it…I’ll be curious to find out, if anyone else picked up on it…
