Absolutely love this for the family bonding it conveys. The light and the Tak's handling of it is pretty nice too. Bonus mark to Zion for taking the camera.

Very nice! The backlit glow combined with the rays of light spreading outwards give an almost sacred feel. Lovely texture in the leaves as well.

Very dreamy. The backlit bristles give off a nice glow.

This is gorgeous! Great result.

Your host's "anti-flood" device is preventing me from nipping through your photos and making quick comments, so I'll just say I also like the b&w photo of the flower. I have found the Tak 24 (and 28) are good b&w lenses when their contrast is down.

Very nice indeed

So what's happened to the Takumar 24/3.5? Needed a break? (Only metaphorical I hope). Lovely tones and light shimmering off the stems, and hardly any, if any, purple fringing in sight.

to me it looks great! good details and strong contrast. for that old lens...nice.

Very cool. Perfectly done.

Another test passed with ease.

It's handled it pretty well hasn't it, unless you were hoping for luscious flare throughout? Again, no signs of CF on the leaf edges against the sky, and the backlit leaf edges close to the Sun look really good. Good definition across the frame too.
