Waiting to Unfurl

Andie and I had a meetup at the Garfield Conservatory to practice with Lensbaby. Halfway through, I did switch over to my macro. LB's are tough to use! This was taken with the macro (see extras for a LB sample), then processed in Textures and PS and other stuff until it was presentable.
Thank you for putting bubble shot on PP yesterday -- very exciting to see it there.

I like the way your textures seem to surround the unfurled fern as if to protect it. Really lovely.

@moonmtn Ah, they were an oil painting type of texture, so you've hit the nail on the head. I thought they worked well with the curves of the fern thingy. Thanks for your visit!

[tony gig]
