Lensbaby Tulips
I was intrigued, like Catherine Riley, with many of the effects posted in the Flora Gallery using a Lensbaby. Having purchased the "composer" model, I am a newby and experimenting with its capabilities. This was shot this week at the Woodland tulip festival.
comments and critiques welcome

Hey, that's darn good for just getting started with the Composer. Love the red & green combo, except the red looks too hot, Craig. Did you saturate the image in post-processing? Was the light harsh in the field? Anyway, thanks for taking a look at my landscape shot and commenting. At least we like the Composer, eh? :rolleyes:

I think there is a really nice almost painterly effect here.
