| Stained glass garden | August 8, 2011 @ 5:39am | Another coneflower from my garden. This was right after a brief shower. The sun was breaking through creating a wonderful backlight. Combined with the water drops, the background reminds me of stained glass.

| August 8, 2011 @ 7:45am | Thanks, Flo. That was done with the Sweet 35 optic all the way open (F/2.8).

| Stained glass garden | August 8, 2011 @ 5:17pm | A poetical title for a beautiful picture, Steve.
I like the composition with the flower on the lower right corner. The colors are vivid and, with the sun coming through,they get a nice translucence. A luminous bokeh.
It recalls me chrurch stained glass ... and the translucent candies of all colors I used to love when I was a kid.
I really love this picture. Magnifique!

| August 8, 2011 @ 5:47pm | Wes - Thanks! I go months never taking the Lensbaby out. But I have been incredibly busy, and I find I can just go out into the garden for 30 minutes and play and surprise myself with this lens. When I take out my macro or another normal lens, I tend to start getting all technical and pulling out the tripod and takes 30 minutes to get one picture. With the lensbaby, I just let go and have fun - And shoot a dozen or more compositions in 1/2 an hour. Though I am too often disappointed when I put on the computer and find the focus just off.
