Yes...but doesn't last through my messing around.;) Also, the double exposure technique works. Thank you, Tony!:)

Look like opium poppies,the smell coming off them is quite intoxicating!Cheaper than using a stocking,have you ever tried just breathing over the lense,it produces a very nice soft effect too.

Great effect - with the nylon it does not get grayed down.

Dear Shirley! The soft pastel beauty of this image makes my soul swoon! Fabulous my friend! A wonderful artsitic rendition of one of my favourite flowers... the poppy! I like your make shift diffuser. Good for you. Use what's available and experiment. Such fun and amazing what effects you can come up with! I also like to use whatever is at hand just for "fun" and interest. :)

Warm Wishes,
Aniko :)

Magnífica fotografía y composición de unas bellas flores que aquí en España se conocen como "Amapolas". Los colores son muy delicados. Un abrazo de

These soft flower photos are fantastic... really do love them & would never even have thought about using nylon over the camera lens for a result... bless.. so much to learn!

Maybe before I get to carried away with inspiration from these shots I should enquire what I should NOT & never even attempt to stick over a lens!!!! he he he x ;)

This is sweet Shirley, I like the little drops of water on the petals of the flower to the left, and even though it is soft, there is still a lot of detail retained, very pretty shot.

This idea od stretching the nylon sheet is very impresive and the effect is very beautiful here also.

Very great image and so pleasant to view, wishing you all of the best my friend
