New Lensbaby! Bad pictures, cool effect

[opus]

Got my Lensbaby on Thursday and have been playing with it ever since. It's "easy" to use but very hard to master. I'm mostly having trouble focusing correctly, especially on moving objects, because you have to actually be compressing the lens while following the subject, and your focal spot is within a cube of space that you have to find visually. But I think this thing has a lot of possibilities, especially for not very active motion shots.

Here's one, not very good but I'm still practicing.
