@Matt Sutton: thanks matt. sometimes i'm almost afraid to use her - the way things are going this cheap bit of plastic may soon be my most valuable possession!

Very abstract. I don't know how you get this close with the Holga, but very nice shot.

@Howard F.: thanks howard. this was actually taken with a diana, which focuses a little closes than the holga.

There is an odd goofy little guy winking at me. I think he likes me.

The Diana does a good job of transforming this peeling paint shot into a beautiful, near impressionistic image. The limited focus works very well in this shot. I like it a lot!

the vari focus is lovely where the sharpness. textures and even most of the elements are restricted one "band" or strip of an unidentified object.

Wonderful abstract. Peeling paint always makes an interesting capture.

The Diana has given is a very close look to a Lensbaby shot. I hadn't considered that before, but in this photo it's very close. Fantastic!

@Rachael: thanks rachael. i always just assumed that toy camera images were the inspiration behind the lensbaby. of course, the diana and holga don't allow for macro shots (unless you perform mad scientist hacks).
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
A good job with peeling paint --something beyond the ordinary shot of the type.
