Before I tell you about this shot I gotta tell you about the IPAD. I've had it for a week now and must say everyones submissions have gone up to another level. The IPAD is wickedly awesome. If you haven't taken a look try it out. If you have one you'll already know what I'm talking about.

This is rose is Austrian Copper shot at the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens. Shot with a Canon 40D lensbaby f4 ISO 100.

Great selective focus - classic Lensbaby output. :cool: . Rich Reds on the bed of Greens is always eye candy material. Looks nice to me :toast:

Bob: I'm off and on with regard to lensbabies. I find this to be an intriguing comp. The OOF flower on the left kind of pulls my eye but I like the apparent movement over there. I'll come back to this again. >=))>

Looks like you mastered the lensbaby, I like the POF and those vivid reds

Nice image Bob. Reminds me of a painting. Not a big fan of "lensbaby" shots, but this one I like. :cool:

I've come back to this now a couple of times Bob. I really like the richness of the colors, particularly the reds and I like the concept of the composition but I keep wondering what that third blurred flower would look like if it were in sharper focus. Regardless of the lens baby effect, it's the blurred flower that doesn't work for me.
