Abstract

I had a bit of trouble with editing. With this lens and with a very shallow depth of field I get quite high chromatic aberration. I like this effect, but maybe I should remove it?

I think it's absolutely gorgeous! I love the effect. That looks like it could be a variety of lensbaby… they give off wonderfully dreamy imagery.

[Diana]

I too think the effect is fabulous, especially the wonderful bokeh and tones.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Very beautiful

[Bucktree]

Fabulous.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Pretty abstract.

[Joan Robillard]

Nice

[carol white]

A lovely effect

[Rob Z]

I don't think so - at least not for this one. For my eye it seems to add interest and also makes your eye zoom in. I love the result.

[Mags]

Amazing! I love it!

[Heather]

I really like the sparkles and bokeh! I think it worked out really well! Fav

[Kathy]

Whatever you are seeing, I don't think it detracts. This is a lovely photo, full of bokeh.

[Dianne]

I think it’s gorgeous.

[Shutterbug]

I’m not sure what you hoped to capture, but I think the results are beautiful.

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful.

[Faye Turner]

Lovely

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I wouldn't change it either. It's very dreamy and magical this way. I'm not sure what you wanted but what you got is perfect for this picture.

@olivetreeann @fayefaye @jamibann @shutterbug49 @dide @randystreat @marlboromaam @robz @carolmw @joansmor @mittens @dide @365projectorgchristine @cocokinetic Thank you very much for your opinions. I love this type of distraction. What worries me is the red border around the blur circles. I don't know if I should leave it. It may not be visible in this shot, but I will try to publish a larger close-up and ask for opinions again.
