Hot Pink

Mid day shot with a lensbaby. Good thing about lensbabies is that even in harsh light you can capture some good shots.
Canon 40D Lensbaby 3G

Cool shot. It has a whole windswept feel to it. Really nice color and deft handling of the light.

Bob, Have'nt used my Lensbaby in a longtime and you might have provided me the inspiration :cool: . Superb focus (bang square on the center of the flower) and the lines radiating from the center of the flower look extremely interesting. Whatever all that is, the it looks extremely aesthetic to me. :toast: :toast:

How about a square crop, eliminating some of the lens baby's effect above the bud and leaf. Such sharp detaied centerl shouldn't come in second to the oof portion. Outstanding detail on the center of the blossom. :toast:

Cool...real pop ...seems to reach out and want to be touched. The blurred b/g adds a lot. No nits here. Ken S

Don't have a LB but looks like a fun lens to play with. Gorgeous with sharp focus and lines radiating from the central star. Like Patricia's suggestion of a square crop. Well exposed in this harsh lighting. Well done.

The LB rides again. Beautiful. May need to dust mine off. Thanks for the inspiration. :smile:

Never used a lensbaby, but I really like those sharp sharp sweeping lines. Nice effect, Bob.

Excellent capture Bob, I love the color and detail in the main bloom and how it stands out from the BG.

Hi Bob, I'd not have guessed this had been shot with a Lensbaby. I love the texture and feeling of motion to this, and yes, that hot pink too. :smile:

Nice handling of the lens, Bob.

Cheers,

Carol
