Like I said, I'd like to have a go with it! The vine leaves stand out for me but the rest are right behind.
Off topic note - your acer leaves are going red already, as are mine. It's really early this year.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Lovely colours...and yes I think autumnal leaf activity has started to arrive already.

These past few days in particular have seen lots of smaller than normal but very dry leaves from Beech trees start to cover our rear lawn.

Beautiful set.
The vine leaves stand out for me too.
I can see the equipment delivers and yes, i too have lens envy, but i am sure that the photographer has played a part in this!

Stunning. Beautiful. Peaceful. Gorgeous. I'm running out of appropriate words...

And proof yet again that LennyBloke's garden was planted so as to look good in photographs.

lesjacksons' comment re. photographer 'playing a part in this' is spot on. As always, as with so many others on this site, someone who can 'see' and then captures it.

And finally, 'Stunning. Beautiful. Peaceful. Gorgeous. I'm running out of appropriate words...' comment from Lubbyman - couldn't have put it better myself.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Thank you for all the kind comments - the Camera and lens combination worked really well, 135mm is not on of my favourite lengths but of course once it's on an APS-C camera it's effectively a 200mm - and that's a focal length I've enjoyed.

Super results.
Yes, combination of camera and lens plus photographer I would add!
