Not as nice a pose but face focus is fine. The "smearing" I referred to before seems to be expressed as a stretching in the grass on either side of Pippi.

Yeah, I have to agree, it's the nicest pose. Manual lenses are so unforgiving lol. You've got the swirl going but I'm also attracted to the smeared character of the fine branches.

So nice! Great pov and proximity.

I was enjoying the B&W next door with its strong IR leaf character, and then I saw this - those vibrant greens win me over, vibrant but not unnatural. I also think there's greater opportunity to appreciate the bokeh in this one.

They're there; subtle, but a comfortable accompaniment to the stark whiteness of the subject. Very nice.

Great composition!

Hypnotizing bokeh

Really interesting look to this lens - dog looks good too. I've been curious about them so glad to see your shots.

Oh I love the ground details and the bokeh. Cool image.

Super swirly bokeh and nice composition.
