this technique is a lot of fun with the helios lens, but there is a lot of playing around with settings and focus and it was hard to find a subject. This may have been better in colour as there would have been rainbow colours in the flare, will keep this lens on the camera for a while so i try again.
I particularly like the way there is light in one place right where the plant is. This reminds me of one of the first photos that I saw of yours. I was photographing mushrooms at the time, and you did a mushroom in the crook of a log that really caught my attention. I know they say lighting is everything, but every once in a while you really get reminded of that fact.
A FAV!
