I agree with ranjit; I like the diffuse glow and depth o field; gives it this really ethereal feel to it.
PS. I like yr new icon; what big eye you have!

i would say it looks real, almost too real! a wonderful dream of focus and colour! great work!

Thanks, this one's done with my film camera. A Zenit 12XP - all manual. I love film, it gives a completely different feel. I used macro extension tubes to get up close and this gives a wonderfully shallow depth of field which I love.
