New Toy

I bought myself a Lensbaby Velvet 85.  A big sale and I have wondered about them for a long time.  A bit out of my comfort zone, I tend to like my photos very technical and sharp.  I feel I've been in a bit of a rut and this might be just the thing to come up with something new.  There is quite a learning curve from everything I have read.  It is a well built lens but manual focus which I haven't done since middle school!  I have lots of Extra photos left so I will put a couple extras if anyone is interest in looking at my first attempt with the lens.
