Just a trial I did at the last minute with my new flash (Mother's Day gift - thanks François!) and a piece of glass sprayed with a water spritzer. I liked the impressionistic feel of it all and the lawn especially looks like a Monet painting. I really don't think it will do well but it had been a while since I entered anything. I was missing DPC!

I really like the kind of pictorial textures and shapes you obtained here. Assuming you didn't use any digital filter, this is really a creative and original capture.

whilst very pretty I think that your techique has given you more of a bokeh effect than soft focus. 7

Classicly lovely. Looks like maybe you sprayed the lens with mist? Nice effect, at any rate.
