Summer Dreams

The Great Spangled Fritillary came back for some more pollen today but after he took off I decided to play around with the lighting and sharpness. I decided I really liked the high-key manipulation in camera and the blur from leaving the shot purposely unfocused. This shot has not been post-processed except for a clear edge added for definition.

Leigh will be heading back home tomorrow. I'll do my best to keep up with you over the weekend but I might not have a lot of time.

I'm a big fan of blur as you know - and this is a beautiful example. The high key works well too

I agree with what was said it has a nice dreamy look and is a fav. for sure.

[Sally Ings]

Very nice dreamy effect, lovely pastel colours. It reminds me of the effect you get from a Lensbaby.
