Hay Bales (Lensbaby vs. Nikon) (Traveling Burnside Project)

Two years ago I discovered a field with hay bales just a few minutes from my parents’ house. Last year I had huge plans of taking pictures of them right after I arrived to Hungary. I walked to the field on my first day, and found nothing. They had already collected the bales. This year I got lucky; they were still at the field, and I was able to take a few comparison shots. I took the Lensbaby Burnside 35 and the Nikon 35mm lenses with me.
The following two images are out of the camera, no editing. They were taken almost from the same spot, a few minutes apart, both at F5.6 aperture.

Here is another example of a nearby gate taken from almost the same position. I like how the Burnside places the emphases on the map in the middle. You can still see details on the side panels, but your eyes are mostly drawn to the middle.

Here is a collection of my favorite images from this morning;
the first four taken with the Burnside at F5.6, the sunburst one at F16, and the last one with the Nikon 35 at F5.6.
