Flowers in a mason jar..

Taken with my Lensbaby soft focus optic and macro converter.

Me, being the slow-witted moron I am, just now caught on to the fact that your screen name was Tami from AZ.

Well, Tami, I think these are a real knockout as a group.
Rearrange them so they go from top of plant to bottom 2,1, 4, 3 and they make a terrific vertical mural.

You are brilliant..It never occurred to me to arrange them that way. I might just order these in small canvases and hang them in my house. Thanks for the great idea!

Before you do that, look at two things that you might want to think about.

The crucial issue in a series here, I think, is that the series is not discordant.

#2 is the only one that is off to one side.
These are from different vertical viewpoints except #4 which shows essentially the same view as #3 but without the names pressed in the glass and only a hint of the bottom and the table.

Before investing in canvas, I might re-shoot #2 to get more of the jar but include some of the background and reshoot #4 from a lower viewpoint to get the roots and a bit more of the table.

Quite a nice set.
Now I'm going to see if a Holga lens comes in m 4/3

Well-done, Tami from AZ!!!! Zeroing in on SMALL parts of a larger subject is a well-accepted way to make nifty photos...it eliminates sooo much, and what remains is therefore stringer in its impact. You did pretty well with this subject, and I think also the Lensbaby helps--it is more of a suggestive lens than a lens with great veracity...it suggests more than it does reveal the most-minute details and imperfections.

Love these Tami. I could see these hanging in the order Lew suggested on image blocks. I would use twine to connect them.

If the photos are printed fairly big, you might even see what Mason jar rings would look like as connectors. I think the prints would need to be at least 12 inches wide for the jar rings to look in-proportion. (THis idea is based on using pint Mason jar rings, not wide-mouth ones.) Just a thought...I think it would look very folksy, and certainly unique. I mean, twine would be good too--certainly much better than say, those old style screw-eye connectors...that would just be too regular.
