Thanks! I was using fill flash on these shot, at about f8 on the first two, the last one is stopped down to f16... plus it has some photo shop in it. (watercolor). This new (older) lens has a very shallow dof. The wind was blowing like heck, and I couldn't shoot any faster than 180/s since I was using flash. I tried some faster shutter speeds at a higher iso without flash, but kept getting blown highlights due to the sun and bright flowers.
