Definitely prefer this one. Great composition. I like how the row of lights arcs the opposite way of the ceiling arcs.

Outstanding shot here. Perfect angle, & oof. Great job.

Leaf nice & sharp & BG is super nice. Especially with the light bursts. Not sure if I like this one in B&W or the other.

The texture in that leaf is fantastic.

Tough light for an ancient lens. Still cool.

I smile every time I see a dog shot. Knowing the story behind the shot just adds more to it.

You got some lovely bokeh dancing it the background.

Nice one, love the low Pov. Agree with Ozzrod though about the timing, or else another subject, anumal/human in the background. Stunning bokeh!

Happy dog indeed!

The low PoV still works well. Nice bokeh balls. Would have been great having the seeds in place, but it's hard to direct nature. I think the muted colours fit the naked stems.
