Admiring the catch of the day

Lensbaby mackerel - five lovely shiny mackerel. I love the lensbaby photos that @beachradish and @jodimuli do - but no fear of looking too much like theirs - just too much blur - but practise, practise, practise.
Thanks to everyone who's looked this week - I love and really appreciate all your comments. Wishing you a great weekend in the sunshine.
I just love this effect. Great image. Nicely caught ;)

@stimuloog thank you - so glad you like it - I wondered if it was just a blur too far

Cool effect, can't help but keep on looking at it. Love the vibrant colours too

Well done! It has a sort of fish-eye look (no pun intended!) with the way the blurring has worked, which I think is very attractive. You are inspiring me to get mine out of its box and give it another chance.

@sturnus Thanks - was really a bit doubtful about posting this one. Which lensbaby do you have - mine is an old one like this one on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lensbaby-3g-For-Canon-/121137770481?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item1c345faff1

@jocasta I bought the Muse from Amazon. I seem to get very-blurred or not-blurred-at-all photos from it. I'm sure if I gave it a try for a few days I'd start to get the hang of it. i think it's a question of patience. At the moment it's a bit like painting with watercolours though, I feel I have no control over it and it just does its own thing.

mind bender!

Love the way the blur is circular from the fish down, then the blur shapes change to be like the sun's rays to match the feet and legs. Either very clever or very lucky, either way, fab.

Fab effect!
July 12th, 2013  
Terrific effect!
July 12th, 2013  
Really fascinating effect - you could easily get lost in these. Love those bright socks!

Not sure how I feel about this lensbaby shots but I do think your subject and colours are great. Nice one Joy!

I fully understand what you mean about friends here who've left the project. Like you, I miss those early-day friends!
