So, how did you get that bottom one? Both are intriguing but successfully capturing that kind of action with a lensbaby...cool.

thanks craig. i targeted the space right before the girl approached the bottom, using the aperture f5.6. of course some bracketting. found that sometimes lensbaby is much easier and quick to focus - esp in the bright sunlight.

What is in background of first image? What can you tell us about taking this image? Regards, David.

thanks david for your interest in this simple image.
the background of the flowers is a painted paper in black and white.
i put the flowers in a vase and in front of the background. actually it is a group of trees with huge sun behind them. using the f4 aperature ring, i focused the flowers not the stems - that's all. yeah, tricky but sometimes the lack of lighting skill can be helped by the neighbour genre of art.

Thanks for details on the first image. I like it very much. It reminds me of a book of photos: Botanical Dances by Huntington Witherill. You can see some of his images at

I think he took dried flowers and leaves and placed them in front of different backgrounds. Take a look.

Oh yes, and I forgot to ask: did you do the black and white drawing?

David, thanks a lot for sharing the Botanical Dancers with me. I really enjoyed them all. The background was drawn and painted with acryl pigments b+w. These days I am experimenting an image consisting of photography and painting. Here I attached a color image of that kind. Enjoy it and any response is welcome! Have a good Sunday!

* Sorry all, excuse me for posting a non-lensbaby image!
