Lens baby composers are tricky. But you created some great bokeh with it! Love the shapes!

these are really magical, creative, and warm…fine art is your medium. i cannot wait to see the beauty you capture with the lensbaby. you’ve inspired me to put purchasing one on top of my wish list. beautiful, jessica.

Traca - January 25, 2012 - 7:35 pm

What creative fun! I have been playing with freelensing lately and got some images similar to this, but I didn’t think about using the lights for fun bokeh!

Marla - January 25, 2012 - 10:51 pm

I know it takes a lot of practice, but I really want a lensbaby composer! Thanks for sharing, these are great.

I’ve been so inundated with advertisements for Valentine’s Day presents that I am now coveting some of these treasures!  Damn you mass marketing and consumer driven e-commerce.  You blow my mind daily. I just couldn’t keep these goodies to myself!  If any men happen to see this I think your significant others must like these!...
