 I took this photograph using vaseline on a piece of glass held in front of the lens. This was my first attempt at this type of photography, and as I have only had my H5 for a week, a learning experience. It is also my first competition attempt.

Hi! Thank you for your kind welcome. The people on DCP are so talented, I feel constantly inspired and challenged to do better. With this photograph, I can see that I should have been bolder with the special effects and/or done more post-processing. It was a new technique for me, and I hope I will improve.
