This guy explains the use of ND filters better than I can, but no, I think the washing out you see is maybe an effect of the blurred motion.

I was gonna guess some sort of Phlox.
and then using this tool
http://mywildflowers.com/identify.asp
select 4-6pedal, and blue
and found a pholx that is kinda close
ANd then do a web search on "phlox", and see there are 60 some types of phlox
this one is lot closer
https://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/woodland/plants/woodland_phlox.htm
Thank you Dave; one of my co-workers also said the same thing; very interesting
They say, "what the phlox you taking pictures of?" ?
Was out in front yard again today..... rolling around on ground, mid 30s degF, good overcast, was snowing for a while, and then misting
Now with some closeup-filters.... maybe should have gotten them for a different lens....

Very nice Dave
... I must admit that the first thing I noticed was... your emerging beard.

Thanks.
Just now ordered a set of close-up filter for another lens that is faster. Maybe can use that when the trillium open up.
Scraggly beard probably aint gonna last too much longer.
Ahhh. They do work. Still waiting for spring here. Was out in the hills today and noticed a few crocuses starting to show.

Impressive. Imm-presss-ive!
Especially after viewing on computer screen (rather than iphone5).
My first reaction is that I should just quit.
But will somehow let these aspire me to improve.
Drove back out to Ludlow Falls tonight; I wanted to get out there before sunset but i arrived just as the sun went below the horizon.

Wow. That's fabulous Scott.
Great shot and amazing detail Bob. I just dug out a leftover Nikkor 70-300 ......still in the original box with it's plastic wrapper and receipt from 2003. LOL. Not sure that it ever got used as it was for my wife's system and she didn't like packing it around. Now ordering the adaptor.
Very nice, Scott. I like what you did with the shutter speed...
Right before sunrise, or just after sunset, are wonderful times to take photos.
I think it's a very cool picture too. Question, don't you need a Tripod when you slow the shutter speed down like that? Bob, do you use a Tripod when you take close up pictures? Very beautiful pictures guys, keep them coming.
