I'd love to know what your "custom made pinhole" consists of -- how'd you make it? Do you use it with the lensbaby composer lens? Or can you/do you use it with other lenses?
P.S. I really love this photo -- went right into my favorites! :D It'd be a fantastic print!
Your right about the colours/tones Deb - they are great (is painterly a word?). The shadow helps take a mundane scene and turn it into very interesting shot :)
