Celosia

It was a beautiful fall day, and I was feeling motivated to do some flower photography so headed once again to the local botanical gardens.  I had 3 cameras, one with the vaseline filter, one with a Lensbaby Composer Pro Sweet 80 Optic, and the Velvet 85.  

I have probably said this many times before.  I have a love/hate relationship with these lenses, because my yield of shots that I love is so low.  I have been using the Velvet Lenses for several years now and I think I have finally figured them out. They are actually very good macro lenses and give such a nice glow and soft background.  I have added another shot into extra that was also taken with this lens. 

Thanks, Anni, for hosting Flower Friday - hope you are on the mend.
