Through the Looking Glass and down the rabbit hole

Another image from New Brunswick. This is a view of the lawn of the B&B that we were staying at. Experimenting with my new LensBaby.

aaahh

Okay Cheryl I like it, but can't critique it.... lol

I think your eyes are way better than mine, this makes me dizzy.

But it's a very cool perspecitive and the purple shed.

Good for you for learning to use the Lensbaby.
Your title sets the scene. It does look like looking down a rabbit hole. Nice blurring. I wish the focus were on either the flowers or the shed, but not both. Looking forward to more.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Thanks, Linz and Anita It's definitely a learning curve but it's a cute little lens. I love the way you change the apertures.

Isn't the Lensbaby fun!? I like the blurring here but not sure about the shed leaning. Not quite enough to look intentional?

I often add light vignettes to Lensbaby shots to augment the OOF edges.

Neat that it is all in camera Cheryl. Your certainly got a lot of sharpness. I have always wanted to try it with flowers, but could never bring myself to purchase one.

This does have a sense of shifting motion, like zooming at warp speed. It appears the shed is tilting and I can't decide if the clear lines & colors of the shed are too much for the softness of all the surrounding vegetation, as my eye keeps going to it.

Nice motion blur, Cheryl! I think I would crop it closer. Maybe add a vignette too.
