That turned out beautifully. Masterful use of those masks. No real discernible
evidence of the manipulations required in its creation.
Thanks, Mike!

. . . The one major difference with your examples is they are not as close up. I'm wondering if you got closer how
that would change the visual character of the lenses as the background bokeh is greater when close? You also shot in
harsher light.
Here are a couple of other examples, shot in the last couple of days.
Closer up, at about the close focus limit. Masked to use three of the apertures.

Even closer, using an achromatic C-U lens

Anyone could, and likely would, make different use of the apertures. That's one thing I like about using vintage and alt
lenses, creating a non-literal representation of the subjects based on subjective, æsthetic criteria, as opposed to the
emphasis on accuracy in my regular work.
