Red poppies out already! Great colours and background!

I transplanted some yellow ones yesterday, not sure if they will like 'the move'.

300 star lenses are great for flora as you have shown, yours has a closer focus than mine (F*). Also, I have a K135 3.5 which is florally great, super sharp and beautiful rendering etc... Worth picking one up if you can find one.

"In a photographic context I don't like the use of the word 'shot' as where I live this word refers to an extreme act of violence and not the beautiful craft of photography"
