An experiment with a new lens. I didn't use the SA control ring to alter the bokeh - I haven't explored that much yet.

Tom, the foreground oof effect is very nicely done. You and others regularly provide inspiration for florals and I am catching the bug. (not the real bug)

Regards,

This is quite lovely Tom. Glad to see you enjoying your new lens. The oof areas and the selective focus on the one flower works a treat. Nice one.

Make your life spectacular!

It works for me, Tom! Beautiful as is, and I also like an alternative with a smidge off the bottom to show less stem.

Lovely deep blues and selective focus. A very nice mood created with all the soft surrounds. Maybe signature could be a little less....white?
