It is rainy, windy, dark day here in NW Oregon. I was looking the leaves and notice a little grass peaking through. Forground and some background blurred on purpose. Other blurriness may be the wind.

30 sec; f6.3; ISO 200

it looks a tad overexposed. also a wider aperture (f/3.5 or smaller) would help with background and foreground blur and keep the center sharper. Also a faster shutter speed would've prevented blur from the wind. I'm assuming you meant your shutter speed was 1/30 not a full 30 seconds in less you shot this in the middle of the night! I wider aperture would've allowed you a faster shutter speed and kept the photo sharper.

I think the "white" is overexposure. I used 30sec to see what would happen with the VND turned to it's darkest.

yeah you dont ever really need an exposure that long unless you're trying for some sort of night landscape or shooting the sky. You could try darkening it a bit in photoshop and maybe adding a little contrast and saturation. but its a cool shot!
