experimenting with a magnifying glass in front of my lens which produced a soft focus effect similar to a lensbaby. these are the same dried hydrangeas from my last photo. the center of the one in focus looked very much like a sea horse so off my imagination went. some liquify and gradients and adjustments and this is it. so I guess it fits in the ETSOOI category.
