I agree.. Lovely, and as always wonderful rich tones and textures.

Love the tones and textures, and the blend (to my eyes) of pattern and chaos! Back to bump.

Quirky! I'm having an interesting time figuring out what parts are reflections. Is that how you managed to get a partial figure? There is something about the two signs on the upper right that I find very appealing

Lovely. Great POV and limited area of focus transports us there. A lensbaby shot?

Just lovely! Great tone and degree of blur. This really captures the "feel" of being in the woods, which in my experience is hard to do. I'll be interested to find out what camera settings etc you used.

I like this and keep coming back to it, so it does draw me in in some way. But I also keep finding that I like it more in the thumbnail than the full image where it seems too contrived, in the sense of being set up and with all the blur/distortion created by obvious camera movement rather than being an image that captures a moment or movement spontaneously, which IMO is a Ben hallmark.
