DIY Lensbaby effects:– Technique #56 challenge

Captured with a DIY modified focus filter. Maybe not the best thing, to try with the macro lens. And so not quite the effect I expected, but for a first try I like this picture of this disregarded little flower nonetheless.
In my language the cuckooflower is called Wiesenschaumkraut (literally translated Meadow-foam-herb). This name gives a pictorial presentation, how the tiny flowerheads in its abundance look like light lilac foam on the meadows.

Nearly SOOC. Did some croping, "removed" a tiny distracting gras stalk and added the watermark.

Here a picture from the filter making of. http://365project.org/mona65/2015-plan-b-alb/2016-04-12 if you are interested
