Picture a Day: Apr 2

Close up of a plant stem gracefully arcing across the frame, with tiny unopened flowers, edited with grain and light effects

Quick throwback picture from the Garfield Park Conservatory. The original picture already had a dreamy look to it, thanks to a Lensbaby Velvet 56mm 1.6 lens, which I enhanced with textural and lighting effects. It's interesting because at wider apertures, it produces a dreamy, glowy effect, but at smaller apertures it is very sharp, and great for macros. It's a really fun lens to play around with.
