Thanks Sury :) .

I especially like your third one here, great dof and complimentary bokeh.

Those flowers are bright and cheerful Sury, I like the composition and bokeh in the last as well, actually come to think of it with so much bokeh I think I’d like all of the flower stem and buds to be sharp as well…maybe.

All good, Sury, but I really like the rose with the water droplets.

Thank you gents for your kind words. I am happier with this lens on an A700 than on an A900.
Greg, I think there was a small movement of the branch that might have caused the softness
though I do not out rule the lens: Hasselblad 150mmf4 on A700.

it's hard to get anything here because of the rain, here is a sad one caught between showers with the nex 5n and tamron 90mm

and this has just about dried out, although they still manage to be bright and colourful , despite the deluges we have had in England all summer long

Very nice. Is it my monitor or the background is noisy/grainy?

With best regards,

Sury, I love the third flower shot as well. There's something very neat about it all. : )

Gio67, you've caught the rain on the flower very nicely. : )

Ken, lovely blend of colours on those flowers...especially the Fibonacci sequence. I love the second shot's bokeh and the plain artful solititude. : )


THanks for sharing,

Ken,
Good capture. I love the spiral effect on the first one.

This is an image from my holiday in La Palma, Spain last July/August. I did not come around to processing it yet.

Don't know what variety it is (I'm terrible in identifying flowers :roll:). If anyone knows, please let me know!

Not quite "flowers" but quite colourful so I hope you don't mind.

Great shots, Ken and Mark. Mike, at this forum we are hardly literalistic. :lol:
As you can see we tend to be artisitic.... :)
