I think you handled this really well. Lensbaby shots often seem so random to me...this one is really nice.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie! I agree, sometimes the shots do look random. I really have to take my time with it or it looks very random. You have to be intentional with the lens, which is a good lesson for me!

oh oh, there goes the LensBaby ... I love the sharp detail of the centre of the gerbera daisy and what a soft shade of pink ... very pretty

This is stunning!!! Love the processing. Haven't tried a lens baby, but you're making me consider it!! I just love this shot.

@cara: Thanks, Cara. I really didn't do much in the processing. I desaturated a bit because the original flower was more pink than I liked. Other than that, I just prepared it for web and burned down the background! I held off getting this lens for a long time, as I thought it was frivolous. You can get a similar effect with a Photoshop action, but why when you can get something this great nearly SOC?
