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

[Hawk]

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

Here are two more - lily abstracts, these are from Minolta 100 macro:

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.

Thanks,
Yildiz
