Gorgeous image, love the way the smaller bloom recedes into the background.

A few more and possibly the last - I think I've culled all the "bad" ones from the day now. Thanks for the kind words so far The last picture impressed me with how sharp the 18-135 can be - it's a pretty severe crop at 135mm, but still tons of detail.

Superb again, I love the way you have isolated things in these images so we're not distracted by the surroundings and can focus our attention on the main subjects. These are right up my street and I pay compliments to both you as a photographer and your equipment.

Lovely colour and detail. What a useful lens that is.
Best wishes,

Andrew
