This seems to be an intriguing technique which has resulted like a pressed paper sculpture?

What did you start with? And do tell us what you then did with it to get this subtle effect.

Probably something like:

Photoshop > Filter > Stylize > Emboss

Plus any steps required afterwards

Hi Ann, Birna taught me the technique, and it is as she indicates.

You see the photo I took in Puebla de Mula the other day, with that light, it was getting dark and the mantis was clinging to the tip of the fennel as if it wanted to jump to the moon.

  Yes, I will not deny it...it was Bent's fault

You are clearly looking to reduce weight while carrying the 28mm f/1.4E and the 105mm f/1.4E
