This one works nicely with the curves of the branches following the petzval effects.

Thanks, Jim. It is a bit underexposed, but with a slow fiber paper negative and my hand as a shutter accuracy was not in the cards.

I have been experimenting with the paiting with light technique. Really fun!
All were shot with 4 different soft focus lenses. Bausch & Lomb Portrait Plastigmat, Kershaw soft focus, Cooke portrait series IIB and Pinkham Smith Visual Quality. Could you guess which lens for each image?
