Failure isn't fatal

Experimenting with my new (to me) Helios 44-2 lens. Attempting to create the legendary swirl in the out of focus areas. Not hugely successful but a wonderful excuse to go for a walk.

Great title, words I need to remember and embrace! Cool shot, should be a fun lens to play with!

You got some very cool bokeh in the background.

@kali66 @aikiuser @kvphoto Thank you all very much.
@phil_howcroft Thanks Phil. I haven't figured it out yet as it is quite different to use than my other lenses. I do like the swirly effect (which is why I got it).
