Very, VEry nice Michael. I love abstract and have a lens baby but without the holes for the stick and lensbaby 2 is almost imposible to work with. a suggestion - try printing this shot on linen paper for a really soft touch. I'm using watercolor and linen a lot now for my abstract and macro work and I really like the effect.
Good Luck

Hi Erma~

Thanks for the great comments. Do you mean the LB 3G when you say the one with the holes for the stick? I do hear good things about it, but I do find the LB 2.0 workable. I also have the LB original. I think they all have their own unique qualities. I use a "velvet" paper and watercolor paper for home printing. I agree. Abstracts present well on "fine art" type papers. Thanks again.

I love this Michael! I have a similar one in my gallery- only a few people seem to like this style but I find it is something that you never tire of looking at! Well done again! #4801400

PS. Thanks to you and Erma for the tips on printing. I will have to try it. I have a friend that prints some of my shots onto canvas and they also look great. (to me anyway! lol) #4801405

Sue~

I agree that a particular person is drawn to this type of image and they are a small lot at that. Perhaps it's acquired? Canvas is great! Thanks for the kind words on the image.
