Edit: once again I wasn't able to properly name flowers, once again I was corrected by my mother :D Only second shot is lily, all other are gladiolas :) Sorry.

Hawk - those are really lovely shots - you Mum has some great lilies :D Lovely colours and creamy bokeh. I like the 'dew' / water droplets.

Thanks Birma. It still amazes my how well Tamron 55-200 performs :)

Warm colours!
The second is very nifty, the curves within the frame almost look baroque...

Hawk, the 55-200mm sounds very interesting. I heard many people enjoying that lens' output and your photos are additional testomonials. :D

Thanks,
Yildiz

Thanks again for all your comments!

I was today testing my "new" Minolta 5D mostly with 100mm macro. I didn't reviewed the shots yet but I hope at least few will be worth sharing :)
