Looking back through some images from a few weeks ago, this one caught my eye. I must not have thought much of it when I first shot it. Let me know your thoughts.

Tim,,,,I think it's fantastic. The main stem holds strong interest that feeds into the petal detail of the second flower. A very nice transition.

Simply a lovely image.

I like the softness a lot - which I assume you were going for. I'm not so sure about the comp - it almost looks like a part of a larger image - like there's no focus, so to speak.

Very nice Tim! This is one of those images that for me is really about texture, subtle light and color. There is a nice flow and feel to this image. Well done!

Great work, Tim! The soft muted colors and the focus of the Lensbaby are spot on...really like your composition as well.

Tim, this is awesome! I see somebody besides myself is using the Lens Baby! We just returned from the iris farm out of Kaiser. Shot about 150 exposures with the LB. It's a fun lens!

Congrats on the EP!!
