This is a really great concept, probably the first image that makes me consider getting one of those things. What I think would push this one over the edge is if you centered the focal area around the bud of the flower so that the "spikes" are all in focus and the pedals are blurred out so they look like they're all just sort of flowing off the stem. Valiant effort regardless of the outcome.

I rarely use mine outside of wedding and portrait work... but this is one FINE image using it for a nature shot! Great work Richard.

Ah, very nice, Richard!! Love the gradient of color in the bg and wish the highlight in the ulc could be more consistent with it's better half (just imho...) That said, I really like this and think it's great LensBaby work. You dialed it in very well. :toast:
