Creatures in motion

Generally the aim is to freeze motion and to avoid motion blur but that is what rules are there for – to be broken.  I have a few images in my collection where the sense of motion makes the image.  The instant is prolonged – a butterfly takes off, a baboon leaps with its baby, a thief escapes and a puppy runs for the pure joy of it.  To be different (and to add one to the Series of Four) a fly is frozen in flight…. 

An extra image – a fly frozen in motion as it flies.
