Macro Study of a Christmas Cactus

To pass the time with this cold winter weather, I have been playing with some still life ideas. For Christmas I got the macro lens adapters for my Lensbaby Composer – these are old school simple magnifying lensses that screw into the filter thread. Combined with the inherent distortion of the Lensbaby they create some really soft dreamy images.

This is a small Christmas Cactus which helpfull bloomed this year, and has made a lovely subject to play with.
