gorgeous!
love the DOF

 

[Geronimo]

I really like it Jim. DOF is just grand.

Very nice! I love the use of DOF, color, placement... the only thing that bothers me in the least is the blur on the stem and bottom of the bud.... However, I do really like this photo! Great job!

Thanks guys! I was just playing around trying to get a shot to show someone on another board what this lens looks like wide open.

Normally I would've used a bit more DOF, but I was actually pleased with how this turned out.

Can't see the lens at all!!

Just kiddin'! Great job as usual! Do you ever take a bad picture? Even your bloopers always look good!

Cool shot Jim. I really like the excessive blur from the DOF especially in the background. Your green lettering also works for eliminating dead space.

Haha! You have no idea....

Harpper- thanks. I'm liking the bokeh of this lens so far.
