Life at 1/30th of a second

So, for the first assignment, my friend suggested that we ONLY shoot images with a shutter speed of 1/30 second.  Because it is often difficult for me to shoot images that are in focus with longer shutter speeds and no tripod, I decided to go the complete opposite direction with it and move my camera as quickly as possible while pressing the shutter.  This actually resulted in a LOT of visually interesting images; however, since I have to adhere to my own rules, I will only post my favorite.  This is simply a large rose bush against a blue sky, blurred by my intentional camera movement.  Hope you enjoy, and remember that when there are no rules, doing the opposite of what you are expected will often produce much more interesting and creative results!
