I like 1, 4 & 5 very much. I think the first one would be better without the brown leaf tip and the last would be improved immensely by having gotten rid of the bramble shoot but I think it really gives the atmosphere of a cottage garden. The woodlaand stream might work very well in B+W too.

Thank you Ken, I at the time thought of removing that little brown mark too on the leaf, but something told me it looked too perfect then, maybe just me, I will have another go at it!
I did also try to remove the bramble, but, when I did, something was missing, I suppose it is a real art to decide how far one must go with editing and also quite subjective, thank you kindly for your comments.

However, just for you here is no 4 in Mono:

A few images I took with the good old kit lens DA 18-55mm, all taken on a monopod, it was actually a very overcast day and most were taken in woodland.
All were RAW with just minimal PP.

I was trying to capture the atmosphere of the summer and countryside near where I live, comments welcome please

Thanks for response, appreciated, will have to check up on some of my precious shots and adjust accordingly!

I have just adjusted my monitor contrast and brightness to Prieni's number and letter chart on previous thread, concerned now it is better or worse.
Can you say whether this poppy with bee is now better than the previous or worse as regards contrast and brightness..

Thanks

Having read this thread and done a little digging around, I'm convinced.

I've ordered an FA 50mm f1.4, too.

For the money it's a lush lens, you won't be disappointed, look fwd to see'n your images

Lovely pics Lilly. I'm surprised that 1/750th/s didn't freeze the bees wings.

The last poppy shot looks a bit flat compared to the colours of the earlier one. Probably not the lens, just needs a tweak during PP I guess.

Great lens, I just wish I had time to find worthy subjects to give mine a bit of exercise.

Regards,

thank you Peter, perhaps they are fit bees down these parts!
Actually, I did deliberately tone down the color in the last poppy for a different effect, so yes, not the lens - me!
