            <description><![CDATA[ Thank you both Nino and Codrin!<br />
<br />
I confess I haven't been around much over the last few weeks.  I had a computer problem (now fixed) that consumed the first two weeks after returning from NY, and this week has simply been busy.  For nearly three weeks I've not used my cameras.  Aaaaagh!!!!  This weekend I hope to be doing photography again, especially with my Lensbaby.  :D]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thank you guys. I agree they are busy . My original intention was to shoot the bark as potential overlay textures. But then I couldn't think of any LB shots I had  that would benefit from using them. I had been doing some test shots on my 135 defocus lens &amp; thought they could take a texture. But that wasn't very Lensbaby , so I made the LB textures the background making them the main focus. Then the test shot was converted as a B&amp;W with a very short tonal range with the majority of the tonal range around 128.It was placed as a layer on top &amp; converted to Overlay mode. The thing I found interesting was essentially all though they are all the same shot , the different  color &amp; bark pattern gives them such different expressions &amp; feels.I have been impressed with some of the things I have seen done here with overlayed textures,this was my first foray into this territory, unfortunately didn't have the rights combinations of textures &amp; images to do anything totally LB.I think this  technique could look interesting with a human face &amp; the right back ground.tony]]></description>
