Lovely colours John.

Number 4 certainly stands out for me. If you hadn't had said it was a morning shoot I'd thought that the picture was taken during the late afternoon. The warm colours in the upper two thirds of the frame compliment the cooler feeling of the bottom third.

Several times last week on the way to work I spotted low, early morning light being filtered by a group of trees. I went out on Saturday morning to capture it and was defeated by a cloud ! Still, I enjoyed being out early and it made the coffee I had when I got home all the more enjoyable. I hope you enjoyed the coffee after your shoot too

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.

Carpe diem! Well caught. I hope that your coffee hadn't gone cold.

These pictures are so good that I can set them as my wallpaper!
Very nice.

Cracking set,
As has been said, 4 is just gorgeous, fantastic light.
I'm rather drawn to 7 as well, but 4 is my clear fav.
Well spotted sir.
I know what i like, If not always why.

Some lovely bokeh in these too.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thanks for the additional comments - I do like the Bokeh from the FA*80-200 but unfortunately it only ever gets used in the back garden, it's too heavy to have in the camera bag for most outings

If anyone happens to be looking to buy that lens then it's available
