Wader

I saw this lady as I was walking along with my Dad. I got down to take some shots as I liked the composition and light. Dad was rather concerned about my motives.

Very nice simple image

@ourrube Thank you Ruby. I am a simple type of stalker.

[Gwenllian]

This is lovely, lone figure, focus through reeds, BW, blur. Atmospheric. Lensbaby?

[Spanner]

@lleo Thank you. Yes I used the Lensbaby.

[kali]

there could have been a different title and no-one would have questioned whether or not you were a stalker.... this works extremely well, I really love the effect, is this two exposures?

[Spanner]

@kali66 Hi Kali, no this is one shot. I felt a little odd hiding behind the grass hence the title. I am going to change it now.

[kali]

very well done on all counts :)

[Spanner]

@kali66 Thank you,

eerie, in a very atmospheric and questioning way. in terms of raw detail, this is a bit less minimalistic than some of your lensbaby shots, however the simplicity of areas and what specifics you include helps it retain that same level of focus and intrigue.

I didn't see the figure at first, a favorite experience of mine. I'm amazed that you're able to use the LB exclusively and continuously make it so effective. The darkest grass seems to cup the woman.

[Katia]

Wow! Nice one! :)

[Spanner]

@louuncouth Thank you Lo - I really appreciate your continued support of these shots.

[Spanner]

@agentzuckerguss Thank you Katia.

@ubiquitybutsomewhatdownsized Thank you for your comments. Very much appreciated.

[Jocasta]

Focus and intrigue - ubiquitybutsomewhatdownsized - took the words right out of my mouth. Another wonderful lensbaby image - I'm sure the wader wouldn't mind at all - it's so discrete . FAV

@jocasta Thank you very much. Have you had a chance to use the pinhole/zoneplate yet. I really struggled with it yesterday.

[Jocasta]

@spanner No - brought it with my to the seaside with great intentions of experimenting. I've been looking at other people's zone plate images - including these. http://carolinejensen.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/through-lensbaby-circle-march.html

@jocasta wow, thank you for sharing.

[Rachel Withey]

This is beautiful. Love the movement in the grass

[Spanner]

@rachelwithey Thank you Rachel

This is a bit voyueristic , not usually a fan of that vibe. But after cropping the top half (scrolling the screen down...) I noticed that there is a cool illusion going on, the girl looks really miniature and also the grass looks more abstract as the context is a bit lost... so it becomes just a cool device for framing.
