Breaking Rule #1 - Hold the Camera Steady
I've always liked to experiment with camera movement and have had some successes though plenty more failures. It's the happy accidents that keep me trying.
The result seen here was produced by quick camera movement from upper right to lower left during exposure.

This one is really nice. I like the diagonal line effect, almost like a pencil drawing.
This is the one from your portfolio that I really like. Actually, as I recall, it inspired me to add trees to my blurry subjects, rather than just flowers, and in effect, resulted in one of my better photos like that, "Van Gogh Sky".
Very nice movement. Very dreamlike.
This is a cool shot! Probably could do something with it as a print. It's more than a photo, feels dreamy or like a painting.
I like camera movement shots, and this one is quite nice. Makes photos give the impression of paintings sometimes.
On the other hand, I don't know, I must say that I get quite tired of the camera movement shots. Most seem like "excuses" rather than good photography. I think it's a bit like converting to b/w: yes, sometimes it works, but often people will take a bad shot (bad light, whatever) and attempt to "make it good" or artsy by converting it to b/w.
I don't know. Maybe I'm too negative here, but overall camera movement shots seem pretty to look at for a moment, but not keepers.
I have to agree with Falc here that the diagonal lines give this a pencil drawing effect and I rather like that. I also have to agree with Ursula (although paraphrase somewhat) that it's very easy to get a blurred shot, but not at all easy to get a good blurred shot. This is, however, a good blurred shot in my opinion.
