The shading on that flower, giving it shape, is excellent.

Two views of the lobby at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Camera braced on a balcony railing, not quite as steadily on the first shot as the second..

Bluets out back, photographed from inside our sunroom. A casual, quicky test of a new lens (Oly 300mm f4)

More images of the bluets in our yard, but these are an experiment. I wanted TS ability in MFT, but such lenses are not available. So I got a TS adapter that takes M42 lenses on which I could use my 50mm f1.4 Takumar (pre-SMC) plus I purchased a 17mm f4 Takumar as I thought the 50mm would be too long (100mm equivalent) for TS work.
1. First image, 17mm f4 on TS adapter, Pana GX8
2. Second image = different patch of bluets with 50mm f1.4 on the TS adapter - CAN YOU SPOT THE BUG?
3) a deep crop of the preceding image file to show the bug, which I spotted when checking resolution and color fringing.

Observations
1) color rendering by the two lenses is very different
2) the 17mm has a lot of color fringing
3) the 50mm is still a very good lens - I was amazed to find that bug.
4) the enlarged "bokeh" of the 50mm in the cropped image (#3) looks more like i applied a special effect filter.

Large views and close views of two murals. The first two are in Disney's contemporary hotel, the second two are from the mosaic murals in Cinderella's castle. The closer views are not from the same murals as the overall images. The mosaic murals in Cinderella's castle are exceptionally beautiful, intricately designed and detailed creations. Oly 10-II mostly with Oly 12~100mm, the big mural at the Contemporary with a Pany 7-~16mm.

Spring at last in the UK with the bluebell woods in flower. It’s always one of the sights of the year. We’ll be visiting a couple more over the weekend. Oly 12-40mm f2.8.

+1 on that comment. Here in MessyChewBits = "New" England - the woods are never so dense with one species of flower. However, within the past few days many of the trillium have come into bloom (will get out for pictures Tuesday or Wednesday - scheduled activities otherwise), and soon the trout lilies, then the lady slippers (moccasin flower), then a mix of primarily white blossoms, but all as isolated flowers or in scattered clumps, never such a startling blanket on the woodland floor.
