Lensbaby Blues.........

just got my new Lensbaby Composer Pro Sweet 35! Wow, no one said how difficult it is to get a good shot with one and I'm not sure how to use it, but like the effect on Muffin in this photo as she ran past me.
Please critique.

[Hope D Jennings]

Gorgeous ! Such a great sense of movement with that lens!

[Tracie Broadhead]

lol. Great shot.Muffin is a gorgeous cat.

[Pam Knowler]

Beautiful shot with a great sense of movement! I didn't realise it is difficult to use a lensbaby. I will watch your shots with interest and put off buying one for a while.

[Debs Stott]

Gorgeous cat (love the blue eyes) and like the photo. The blur adds to her sense of purpose.

[Sue Wilde]

Awesome focus on the eyes. Love this

[Lee-Ann]

great shot....like the focus on her face

[sally agnew]

Great capture, stunning eyes :-)

[Rik]

This is wonderful, looks like you've got the hang of it just fine!
When I started with mine I found it easier to shoot around f5.6 - you don't get as much blur but it's a lot easier to control. I worked my way down from there.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

@rikshore Thanks Rik, I'll try that.

[Rachel Withey]

I really love this, love the movement and the focus on her eye is great.

[Sheralee S]

Beautiful shot, I love the softness of her/his fur.

[Paula W]

I think you are being too hard on yourself, this is a great photo, especially as she was moving. Really accentuates her pretty eyes.

[Margaret Obey]

Love this, extra focus on the eyes pays off, they're a wonderful colour

[Jan Rose]

Beautiful eyes, great movement.

[Seema]

Lovely - the cat suits the lens baby!

[Robyn]

[Leon Buijs]

WAtch out mouse!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Joanne Diochon]

Lensbaby is a whole other shooting experience for me. I've got a lot of garbage but a few shots I really love. Every time I pick it up though it takes me a while to adjust my shooting style for it again so I tend to go on jags of using it and then not using it for months. I have the composer however not the sweet 35 so I'm not really familiar with the quirks of that one.

[Kane Arlow]

What a fantastic lens, your cat has magnificent eyes too.

[Tom]

Very interesting effect, blue eyes emerging into the concentrated hunt

[Tia]

Love this!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Love those kitty eyes. Awesome shot.

[Richard Creese]

Cool shot.

[Taffy]

The blue eyes really pop and I think it's amazing you were able to photograph a moving object so effectively!

[Patricia McPhail]

Love the focus on the eyes - great shot!

[gloria jones]

Great focus on the eyes...nice shot.

[Krista Marson]

crazy suggestion, but play with the lb and really bend it and see if you enjoy the abstract results. You are such a great photographer and I am curious to see how far you can take your creative juices.

[Julie Chapa]

Beautiful shot! Fav.

[Andy Mcculloch]

I'm a newbie to lensbaby too and it can be a bit hit and miss, but you've nailed the focus nicely on the cats eye.

[Therese]

this is very cool! Love the effect the lens has created!

[Penny Price]

Lovely shot.

[Angelia Fenton]

I'm interested in what you do with the Lensbaby. Love the starting shots.

[Margaret Brown]

Great catch I like the effect, lovely !
I don't know if you are supposed to be exact or just use it and enjoy the end results??

[Lynn]

Beautiful cat, lovely shot. Fav.

[Richard Hickey]

Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Lynne Hart]

Nice shot of this beautiful cat, congratulations on making the trending page.

[Katia]

Looks badass in the best sense of the word! :D

[Call me Joe]

Me.personally-i love lensbaby shots when they're are not in focus- really ,blurry and abstract like---that's the effect I love to get from this lens-if you're trying to achieve sharp image-you might as well as used a regular lens--LB for me is to shoot something different from the normal.-So keep doing what ur doing-more abstract,more artsy-is much better,i think- and -please yourself first then your viewer second:)-enjoy -love this shot btw>)

[Cathy Donohoue]

Beautiful shot. Those eyes.

[Stephanie Swift]

I can't really offer any critique as I have never used a Lensbaby myself and know almost nothing about them, but I like this capture of Muffin's purposefulness and beautiful blue eyes.

[Nicole]

I know nothing about the lens, but this is a lovely shot. Her eyes really stand out.

[Milanie]

It is a fascinating shot - not too familiar with the Lensbaby so no help there - but the detail on the head shot is so interesting with the rest being out of focus. Really pinpoints those eyes.

[Kathie]

One definitely knows the focal point of the shot.

[Nita]

Love this capture, those eyes are amazing. A Fav.

[Joy's Focus]
