Love the caption & theme Lorna!
Very creative use of the 'Lensbaby Composer', great DOF control and impact..
It's almost a spiritual experience

Well done

No one could ever accuse you of not being creative, Lorna. You just keep bringing it!

Outstanding image, and is really fine art.

Nice effect. THis is very similar to what a Petzval lens would do. A lensbaby has a two element lens called an "achromatic doublet." This was the first lens design used on cameras starting in 1839, the Petzval being the second design. Achromatic doublets were originally the eyepiece on telescopes c.1820s and before. So, very primitive lens giving you unique signature here.
