I like the velvet glow (recently purchased one myself) and the shape of this tree. I like that you could fill the frame frame with it, and what could be a bit distracting behind it is minimized by the white conditions and lens properties.
Roberta, i really love the scene and the feeling of cold and winter. Honestly, the lensbaby effect really isn’t working for me in this particular scene.
@Harley_Goldman@Mark_Seaver Thank you both for your feedback! I like the pic, but I certainly understand that lensbaby effects do not appeal to everyone, especially landscape photographers who want everything in perfect focus!
@karlag Thank you for your very kind comments! I appreciate your stopping by to give me feedback!
