I know this is not for everyone, but wanted to try something a bit different.

Your nits, crits and suggestions are most appreciated.

These are taken with the Lens Baby Velvet 56mm . I added a 12 mm or 20mm extension tube.

Hope you do enjoy.

Certainly not my preferred style but I love the way #1,4 and 5 turned out. I would certainly hang them on my wall which I certainly would not do with 99% of the photographs I take

In my previous life, I don't think I'd have liked these, Birdie. Fortunately, maybe I've matured because now I find them very pleasing--calming, relaxing and grounded as life's simple pleasures if we can slow down long enough to appreciate the little things.

Very well done. I love how you push the envelope and 'blur the lines' between the literal interpretation and the artist's creation.

Thanks for posting.

Not really my cup of tea Birdie, but they are well executed. 1 is very nice ~ Ron

You have a beautiful play of color and form in this pritty set Roberta. The forum seems to be adjusting to art images.

Lots of mystery in these images, enjoyed them all but #4 was my favorite.

I have to say 2 and 4 jumped out at me. I'm normally in the "prefers pictures sharp enough to cut you" camp, but for some reason 2 and 4 are nice to look at.

Birdie,

I don't dislike them but can't decide how much I do like them.

I relate most to the last one, the skipper.

I like it for a change of pace. The Lens Baby Velvet seems a bit dreamier than my old combo of a Nikon Soft 1 filter on a 50mm f1.4 with extension tube. Well done.

I like #1, #3 and the last one Birdie. Since these are mood interpretive, I find myself liking to tinker with crop and color enhancements a bit here on a few.
In a positive way, they caught my eye and slowed me down to appreciate them the way you saw them

Take care
Karl

Wonderfully creative Birdie...I think this is an evolving art form and I love that you are trying out of the box photography with an artistic bent.

I'm absolutely enamored with these photos, and it comes at a total surprise to me. Thank you for opening up another door.

Funny when I look at these on the computer for the first time, I am looking for something sharp and there is nothing

Thanks Doug. I think the Velvet is lots of fun, different and takes some getting use to.
