Lily Stamens

Another lensbaby shot with the 10+ and 4+ magnifing lenses added. DOF get really shallow at this mag. Just a tiny bit on the front stamen in focus.

Mike...looks like you are having fun with the Lensbaby. Love the yellow of this liy with the soft curve of the stamens.

[Mike Gallo]

You sure are getting some creative work with the lens baby, the colors just flow

Classic Lensbaby image with great colors!

[John Cooper]

I like it Mike and pleased you maintained the sharp focus on the front stamen - really makes it for me.
I haven't any experience with the lensbaby but it would appear that you could achieve a similar effect using a macro lens with wide open aperature!?

[Gus Cobos]

WOW...fantastic...:eek: I like it...I guess I have to get me one of these Lens Babies to go along with my fisheye...:eek::D

[Julie Kenward]

I call these images "fairy slipper photos" because it looks like those big fuzzy slippers women wear on the end of little fairy feet.:D

It's beautiful Mike. I might have to take you up on that offer for 10% off...

[Ed Vatza]

Beautiful image Mike. You are really making that Lensbaby sing. I may take you up on that 10% if I have any $$ left after returning from vacation in Acadia next week.

[Steve Wheeler]

I really like the composition and colors....

Sweet! Thought the dof is shallow, you can still see the pollen grains being released from the foreground anther.

Just for grins, how did you light it?
