That 'Stones in the Road' shot is lovely. Another thing to look out for would seem to be puddles and reflective surfaces, reflecting the lights.

I can't see this slew of welcome messages. I'm not doubting they were there, but the fact they have dropped off the front page so quickly makes me wonder exactly what the problem is.

Beluga is an excellent name for it!

A couple of shots to illustrate the lens's capabilities at or near maximum aperture:

They are nice enough shots - if HM Grannie took them with her compact - but no doubt the guy got paid a fortune for them.

Lol! Saucer of milk for Gwyn, someone

Well you pay for the name. A lot of portrait photographers can churn out informal 'bright and breezy' shots where the subjects look both glamorous and very much at-ease... but Mario Testino is one of the photographers they are copying, when they adopt this style.

Here it all is:

A tidy set I hope you'll agree. G'wan, make me a cheeky offer! (Not too cheeky please!)

I think they're nice shots. I like the vertical elements in the background of the shot on the left, and think they provide a framework for the composition rather than being distracting. The right hand shot has a nice candid feel. The background isn't perfect but it's a spontaneous looking image. So while these shots are not the best i've ever seen, they do make the subjects look good (no sign of Will's thinning scalp here!) while looking natural and informal.

F3.5 is slightly too slow for me. I like primes when they offer more control over dof than the lit lens, so maybe a 24mm f2 or 2.4 with good sharpness wide open. Make it a cheap plastic non-pancake DA-L so not to tread on the 21mm ltd's toes.
