The bird is fighting the blur! I must admit, the focus achieved via the lens baby takes me straight to the bridge.

That's some cool lensbaby action - it brings me right into the bird, and the blur throws off the centered composition just enough to make it work even better.

LOL, I know that feeling sometimes. Great image.

a great shot! I never heard of lensbaby until the new year. It looks like it would be fun to work with.

Another great one with LB. Just to nitpick, the bird is kid of blending in the BG. May be shallow DOF would have helped? I am not familiar with LB. I am not sure if it can create shallow DOF.

I like all of that centered stillness right in the middle.

Your use of the blur in these images is excellent...adds so much drama to the image.

That bird really stands out against the background. Love the comp and how that everything works to bring right to the bird, isolated and alone!

Nice centered comp! He really stands out, both due to the LB and his coloring and the way you put him against the background for contrast. This looks like a marvelous park, by the way. I'm enjoying seeing it with you!

And now we all know where the phrase 'pole position' came from ;)

Another great shot from you Lisa.

What a great find. A little bit of solitude is good for the soul sometimes. And this really has a very serene feeling.

Another shot that the lensbaby works well on. It really brings the bird into focus.

Cool shot. I like how contrasting the stark white seagull is with the ominous clouds.

Excellent lensebaby shot as it really makes the subject(s) stand out with the seagull and the dock. Nice warm colors too.

Very moody. I like the centered composition here. Solo is a very appropriate title. The LB isolates the bird from the scene so well that it seems totally alone.

hmmm. Intersting. Clueless new kid tries to figure out what a lensbaby actually is? I know this must be a very technically good shot this, but I actually think the wierd DOF changes distracts from it, because the colouring and mood are so lovely, and the super sharp subject all by himself is great.

Very nice the bird is very sharp

Very nice! great colors. The bird is mirrored in the background by another bird on the dock post.

FABULOUS. The centering and focus on that single bird is terrific.

PAW - This shot is very suited to a Lensbaby. It's not something to use all the time, but works well as a unique perspective. And it only works with centered composition. Nicely composed.

Ah datsa cool shot yeah. I've never used a lensbaby... tell me, are you closer to the subject than it appears? I would imagine so.

Great composition, I kinda chuckled when I saw your photo, typical seagull.... they always like to be the one and only! :O)
