Lovely, intense colours, Walter.
And the telephoto compression of your (obviously fine) lens really goes a long way to creating why I like this photograph so much.

Thank you for your nice comments, Miguel.
Yes, I've come to love this lens so much that quite a large amount of my photos are made with it. I like what you can achieve at the long end, in spite of all the criticism of those pixel counters for whom it is not sharp enough. But it's the photo you get that's important. Up to A2 prints I have not seen any flaws so far. Bigger than that I don't need, the calenders I make are A3 or A4. Walking around with this lens I have all options, from wide angle to tele including nice close-ups of things.

I took a second shot focussing on the yellow blossom leaving the yellow one and the stone out of focus, and I like them both. #10,693
