Lots of great photos!

But.... so much close-up twig stuff!

Maybe I'm in the minority, but bokeh behind PEOPLE interests me far more. A great shot of someone with buttery bokeh and great POP of the subject.

LOL - but UnsinkableII, the twiggy bits are much nicer than most people :P And they hold still ever so patiently, too! Alas, I'll never be a portrait or street photographer - I find wildlife and plants so soothing and people so jangling :P

That is just dreamy. I have K 1.2 lens lust now. Must continue my, "Just upgraded, don't need another lens," mantra
