I've noticed on other sites really nice captures from folks using Lensbaby lenses. Because I use a camera with a fixed lens I'm prevented from using this lens. Here's my initial attempt at creating an affect that mimics a Lensbaby.
Appreciate comments and advice ...

I always like that look too, Pete. Hopefully our members that use a lensbaby can give you some feedback. I will be following this thread.

I Did a Fake Lensbaby back in Creative Effect Challenge 167, please feel free to take a look at it. To me it looks like your image has a flower floating on a blurred background, a lens baby gradually builds in the blur. Actual Lens baby photos. Sweet 50 at f2.8 - you get a greatly diminish blur above f5.6   |

Thanks, Frank. I especially like your second image. I had forgotten about that challenge.....as I recall it was quite popular.

I suspect creating an effective "fake lensbaby" is sensitive to the original image ... here's the SOOC image I used  After using your PSE method to fully understand I adapted it using On1 ... adding glow and blur filters  |

Just saw this add for a Lensbaby sale and thought it might be a nice addition to this thread. |

Just saw this add for a Lensbaby sale and thought it might be a nice addition to this thread. Thanks, Helen...I had wanted to order a Lens Baby Composer and this was the perfect incentive. Ordered the Sweet 80.
Update: My new lens will arrive next Wednesday, July 13!
