The little one is putting on a special smile just for you!

Can't fault the Laowa here. The rendering of the primary subjects is superb but it's even picked up a couple of stars at f11.

happy as a clam. just forced into an awkward position from all the stuffing and chomping bits in my mouth!

haha had the phone out anticipating some wait time but then they got right to work.. this dentist is by far the best I've ever had and I've had many.. trustworthy and conservative about the work that needs to be done.

thanks guys. I have a few more to share from the visit but haven't gotten to them. always a challenge to shoot around the mom of this family we visited who is an off the charts portrait/family/wedding photog. this flower display and many others around their farm are small examples of her artistic flair... found out toward the end of the evening that she sold all of her gear to help fund their last adoption.

Nothing remotely boring here. Has a great Star-Trek feel to me.

Excellent image. You know, this looks like a clean lens/glass. So many of my old lenses have so much more noticeable stuff in the bokehgons. You have stuff but not so noticeable to me.

With no reference point from Rod, all I can write is - love it. So artistic and the light/colours are just great.

Rod writes such thoughtful, wise and appropriate comments. A hard expert to follow. The composition here is really good - lines, curves - and lovely pastel colours.

Phaw. That bokeh is over-powering the composition. So yes, I love it!
