Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Symmetry III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Lensbaby 2.0
Location: a highway in Pennsylvania
Date: Nov 7, 2009
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/800
Galleries: Abstract, Lensbaby
Date Uploaded: Nov 9, 2009

 panning a Lensbaby out the window of a moving car, using one of the new 'soft focus' lens rings

compressing the tubing of the Lensbaby in a certain way generates the vortex-like effect

I think a lot of people won't easily see this as having an element of symmetry, but I'm ok with that. :)

very nice. there's no way I could have voted this challenge without shooting myself, so I missed this. I'm sure it's one of the best.

Following up on my idiotic in-challenge comment (I was in a silly mood), I thought this was not only good, but pretty darn unique and it got a 7 from me.

Whoa. Whoa. No idea what's going on here.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I love this photo. It's really evocative and stirs something inside me. I really hope this places well because it gets my highest vote.
