15528: solitude

another from last week's get pushed challenge... this one was shot with the lensbaby on the canon, with a 30s exposure (i held a nd filter in front of the lens)... i struggle with the lensbaby something awful and most of the images from this shot were useless (the lens doesn't hold still at most angles).. but i thought this one kind of worked so, here it is :)

Well, this one definitely works, compliments!

[Richard Sayer]

I think this works wonderfully well, the lighting creates a strong sense of intrigue. A Fav for me!

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent as always

[Liz Hammond]

Certainly did work & big thumbs up for hand holding the nd in front of the lensbaby for the exposure time. They are tricky things & don't think I've got to grips with mine at all!

[maree_sanderson]

Cool image, composition, light

[Call me Joe]

Stunning as always!!!

[Marnie]

Very scary, looks like part of a horror movie.

[Shari]

Wonderful creativity.

[Suse♡]

Works well for me, a bit hauting but definitely captivating

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the spooky vibe.
The Lensbaby is one of those 'love to hate' lenses for me. Never seem to get anything and then suddenly you get a really cool effect that you can't repeat for love nor money. ;)

[Peter Dulis]

Minimalistic beauty

[Caroline]

It totally does work actually! I can't imagine working with the LB, never done it - but this is awesome. Love the part sad, part creepy beauty of it.

Nice pic, caption!!

[Bill Fenske]

nice lighting

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Captivating shot, I know I'm late to the party but it's a fav for me!

[David]

Drunken solitude, perhaps?

[Bankmann]

What LB do you have? If it’s a Compser or Compser Pro, there’s a ring at the back of the lens, towards the camera house you can twist to lock the lens’ angle… Anti-clockwise, I think?
