beautiful! colors & POV are great & I love the fore & background boke fields. I think you also captured the idea of WabiSabi with beauty in the everyday decay & imperfection of life 7

Acorn on acid. This particular blur is a bit dizzying.

Nice capture but a little to narrow dof for me. I would like to see less blurr on the right corner.

I really like the color and detail in this. The zoom blur works too.

Very neat way to use the lensbaby? to isolate the object. I like it :)

Interesting shot - did you pull the zoom or use a lensbaby (or something else perhaps?)

Lensbaby? A nice effect to isolate the acorn. Wonderful detail and colour, great job.

Beautiful colours and textures, composition works too, nice contrast and tonal range. Is this a lens baby image? That off-kilter feeling of in-focus and out-of-focus areas reminds me of lens-baby or Holga images. In any case, I like it.

was this the dof or did you zoom in or out while taking it? Anyways give an interesting picture that focus's the eyes on the acorn. 7

nice subject matter and the treestump with it works on many levels (aestehtic and symbolic). im not crazy about the blur because it takes away from the simplicity of the subject
