Lensbaby Spark

[JF Pics]

I was lucky enough to get one of these nifty little lenses for Xmas ( I say lucky, specific instructions were followed!)
I'd be really interested to know if any one else has / uses one, as well as seeing the shots obtained with it, and hearing any hints or tips about getting the most out of it.
I've attached a couple of shots I've taken so far, as well as a link to an album of my first attempts at using it. I'm liking it, though it is a fiddly little so and so to use...

Considered posting this in Talk Equipment, but as I'm adding photos and hoping others will too, decided here was maybe best (obviously feel free to move it if judged to be incorrectly here )

There is a thread for lensbaby pictures.

Its a type of lens that does not seem to have many users.

Thanks for that, I'd searched for specifically lensbaby spark photos, so that thread hadn't come up... (the spark being very much the bottom of the range!)
I'll post over there instead / as well. I'd have liked one of the other lensbaby lenses, but £s as ever, played a part!!
