Veltheimia with a Lensbaby

Thanks, Bill. I also have way too many accessories, but that hasn’t stopped me from getting a new one :-). Thank you for your comments!

I really don’t have much to add that’s not been already said but I will at least say that I like this very much. The softness along with the pastel colours is really quite beautiful.

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Love the colors, they are so happy. I like the LensBaby effect. I actually think with a specialty lens like this that is designed for a specific effect, having the stamens in focus might actually be jarring. I like how the yellow of the stamens balances with the yellow in the background. One thing I would explore is the relative placement of the yellow flower parts against the yellow background. I am wondering if they could be more separated from each other and if that would help the eye move through the colors?

Thank you very much for the feedback. I think you’re right about the jarring part–I need to find a sweet spot between nicely soft & oversharpened. And great point about the yellow parts against the yellow background–I didn’t notice it at all while shooting–I was just immersed in all the soft colors :slight_smile: I need to be more careful next time!
