Fab backlighting on the leaves and its edging of the stalks really helps them pop.

That foreground leaf is so sharp with terrific contrast between the veins and the leaf mass. Liking the oof yellow ones too.

The crying leaf - what an apt descriptor, but your decision to have the green below to catch the tears is the winning move. Fab.

Fine hair detail on the new leaf is great; nice bokeh.

You can't help but wonder if they're still an item now.

I like the composition; the crying leaf. This shows up the 55/1.8's weak point to me - sometimes it gives quite artificial borders to large foreground oof objects - the background bokeh can be smooth but the borders not so pretty.

Luv-ly. Bet it needed a big contrast boost, but the raw images from the lens can take it!

Classic, absolutely classic Tak 55/1.8, with the bubbles and sharpness and colours, and the way the light in dark bokeh is rendered. This is a scene I could easily have taken, and often have, with the lens. Inner Simon indeed!

really cool how you get these shots.

Nice candid! Like the way that fella seem to be peeping over the wall
