@888rachel It's what causes the blur -- the hard thing is to get exactly what you want in focus. I was more aiming to Vickey but instead focused on the hood of the car.
go Taffy go! I like the subject matter - putting Vickey on the car gives this odd effect of her surfing on a car that obviously can be moving...Keep at it!
Loving your lensbaby shots - I can see what a huge learning curve it is!! I like the focus on the bonnet as it really goes with the story of the breakdown!!
This photo has a lot of interesting aspects. If I didn't read your description, I would thing you car broke down in a pit of snakes or alligators. :-). Great shot!
