Abstract fallen

Some autumn foliage shot with my 5D and an old 300mm lens.
The background highlights are leaves on the ground. The star shapes come from an 'aperture mask' - a cut out star shape I placed over the front of the lens.
Yeah, it's a gimmick. But I think it's fun to play with... and that's the point of it all. I think.

 

Pretty cool! I like the diffraction spikes.

Thanks, David. Here's another one where I used a 'star mask' :

Good stuff!!

Pan, that's a very nice effect. Both images are great.
