I like the color version better.. usually I prefer B&W. But I just love the OOF rendering of this lens

. Still haven´t used any other lens..

++on the color version. The yellow definitely adds snap and eye appeal.

I'd rather sit with her to be honest.

And I bet you couldn't sit still long enough

I wouldn't be game enough.

If she asked nicely I could.

I have got no idea, I sometimes misplace things but I shall look for it and when I find it I will let you know!

Another posed "Street" shot, might well be the makings of a personal portfolio project, I saw part of the Inca symbol on her back...

Stopped this lady (from Belgium} on the street and asked her if I could photograph her. As you see a lot of cool artwork was tucked away hidden under the clothes.

Weather continues to be exceptionally warm for this time of the year, so the motorbike season is not over yet.
So far I have ridden more than 12,000 km this year ...
This one is from last Sunday.

Somewhat unusual pose for a dragon, perfectly captured.

Thanks WPRESTO! I spotted him hanging like that under a branch, I think he was sleeping (do dragons sleep?) After a shutter click, he appeared to wake up and started curling his tail, then decided to vacate the premises.

Dragonflies definitely become quiescent if it's chilly, and perhaps routinely overnight. Bumblebees do the same. I don't think there's any objective was to decide whether this quiescence is "sleep" as we use the word for humans. Bumblebees are so lethargic some dewy September mornings that you can pick them up and roll them around on the palm of your hand like a marble. They must warm up to a critical temperature before they can fly.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm afraid this will be another "you should print this" image that will never be printed
