Depending on the optic or lens, Bmac, and the aperture you choose, Lensbabies have an area of focus called the "sweet spot" surrounded by diffusion (or maybe 'confusion' to some Lensbaby foes 
). The size of the area of focus is determined by the aperture chosen.

I like this Donna. I am curious did you do much PP other than color adjustments?

Thanks very much, Aflundi! I'm not familiar with the center spot filter, but I am with the blur vignette effect, and you could most likely duplicate the LB Velvet effect using the blur vignette. I've duplicated the 'twist' effect using Photoshop, and the effect looks as good to me as the LB Twist optic. Some of the other optics' effects I have not seen duplicated, however, such as that of the 'Sweet' optics, Double Glass, etc. Not to say it can't be done though.

Glad you like it, Jim. Nothing more than tweaking colors and straightening horizon, Jim, after adjustments in ACR. Oh...I forgot. The first thing I did after ACR was Topaz AI Clear. I love that new program and use it on 99% of all my shots.
