Hmmmmm, I like it, I think .... find it very interesting to look at. It draws me in.

At first I thought it may be a Lensbaby shot but probably not, I've no idea how the blur effect has been produced. My eyes are taken to the centre of the two trees (which I presume was the point?) which is good. It's well worth looking at the larger size. Always good to see a 35mm film shot

Hmmmm, it's a shot I'll come back to and view again and will likely bring in a fair bit of 'discussion'

Cheers, Dave B

Andy, forgot what film was! Initial thoughts like the downhill slant, nice blurring but because its a small image there is too much frame for my liking

fanks again forlooking chaps...

defo know what you mean about my "black frames" been pulled on that one before..keep forgetting its small on here whereas my images at work get displayed about 7ft wide!! so the effect is somewhat limited here!!!

Errr, vaselene smeared around a plain glass filter? was it achieved at the time of shoting or in PP?

Yep.. down size the frame and this is one of those pictures you have to keep looking at, its moody and slightly sensual, love the soft effect and the black and white tops it off perfectly.

I'm liking it even more, the more I look
