I was working on blurs a bit today, and this was done in-camera, full frame.  Minimal processing with a texture overlay and some tonal tweaks.
2 second exposure at ISO 50.

Lovely work Jackie-just the right amount of blur to give it a pleasing softness. Colors are very harmonious.

I love the flowing line down through the frame and the almost shimmering softness of  the gentle colours and the blur.   Looking at this makes me think of the Glen Campbell version of  'Gentle on my mind'.  8)

Like the colors too. Looks like a little "pause and go" technique.

Jackie, I love this image; it is so soft and delicate. Did you move the camera slightly during a long exposure to achieve the blur? Or maybe zoom a tiny bit?

Wildflower, I think Jerry called it Pause and Go which it is I guess. I waited for the shutter to open and register the main stalk with increased clarity, then I pushed the camera slightly right then left. It must have taken me thirty tries before I got one I liked.
