Superb work. One question; did you employ any filters, such as a neutral density or polarizer to reduce light?
David Orias replied
No, this was taken in a low light situation. No filters were used with the lens. Thank you for your question.

Silky and dramatic…...looks longer than 1/4 second, maybe you added some selective blur. Anyway great result.
David Orias replied
Thanks. Panning of the camera may be adding the look you see. I did no selective blurring.
