 Shot with Fresnel credit card lens in front of the camera lens. Before I thought it's a really nice macro setup, but after yesterday I have to change my mind, since the lens show banding due to the circular difraction pattern engraved in the lens and it has horrible chromatic aberration. Tried to salvage what I could with dodge&burning, blurring and desaturating, but the result is still far from a nice shot. Let's see.
