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. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Lenses/Soft%20Focus/Centauress/Centauress.htm>

Even closer, using an achromatic C-U lens <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Lenses/Soft%20Focus/CastLeafBack/CastLeafBack.htm>.

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.
