Thanks to all for the comments. Dave, the Lensbaby Composer is a tilt-shift lens with changeable optics. There is a "sweet spot" of focus which can be moved by tilting the lens, rendering other parts of the image in softer focus. The different optics also change the quality of the image. The zone plate gives the whole image that dreamy, soft look. Other options for optics include plastic, single glass, and double glass.
very nice, I've just got my lensbaby so playing with it like mad and looking around for inspiration! never used a zone plate before - very very cool picture

This looks so soft and dreamy... great job.
Dreaming of yellow,
I see through the lens softly
fields of flowers.
My Mellow Yellow shots
Very dreamy. Nice one.
Gorgeous - but what exactly is a Lensbaby Composer?
