These are stunning in every aspect, colours, contrast, sharpness, even a good deal of 3D pop. Great series, great lens, congrats.

Now I must find one of these for my Kiev! Smile

This is a good series, the only one I don't like is #11 because it's boring, the others are all good. #12 doesn't have a great deal of artistic merit but I understand why you took that shot - to show bokeh and wide open sharpness so I can't criticise it. #6 I would prefer the flowers to be placed to one side or other of the frame to obey the golden thirds rule rather than place in the centre of the frame, but apart from those nitpicks, I don't see anything to criticise in terms of compostion and use of dof which are what I tend to notice most.

I also like the varying subject matter. Buda Castle is a photogenic building but I prefer the way you have found subjects that include human aspects (4, 7, 13) to shots purely of the building itself.

P.S. thanks for creating this section.

Whew ! quite a few shots at once Smile But here goes Smile

#1 perfect focus and exposure His face is perhaps a bit too centered in the shot for me ( I do this with some cameras too often) I like the curved roadway ! Nice tonality for A MIDDAY shot.
#2 A shot that displays the qualities of the lens! Much too centered for a landscape oriented shot for me. But thats me Wink
#3 WOW ! Stunning and EYE Popping ! Can you tell that I like this one ? Smile
#4 A nice environmetal portrait ! Plenty of space and lines lead back to the subject nicely for me
#5 Again a stunner ! My only nitpic would be to place the flowers farther up to the top to miss the grass or most of it in the top of the frame. the bottom flowers would have fell nicely in the 1/3 line and the grass on top doesn't add to the shot. But thats me Wink
#6 I'm really not a slave to the rules Wink Again I like this one but wonder what it would have been like with the central subject placed on the right 1/3 letting the background flowers trail off in the curve to the left ? but the focus and choice of DOF is just breathtaking !
#7 Another great environmental portrait ! You probably think I'm going to complain about the subject being centered? But I'm not ! It just works for me in this one. I don't know why ? Maybe the gate leaning back towards him from the direction he is looking ? A nice story being told in this one.
#8 I like the subject in this one. the deer looking one way and the lady looking the other makes the centered subject work for me in this one. very high contrast scene handled very well in my opinion.
#9 Nice flower photo. Due to the nature of my career I like Flower phootos Smile crisp and nice choice of DOF!
#10 this one not only showcases the lens but has nice ballance and lines ! I like that the camera is tilted inwards !
#11 Pleasing tones and shades.
#12 Not for me Sad But I think it was meant to showcase the lens. Which it does admirably.
#13 I like this a lot! glows on top ballanced with subdued lighting on the bottom. nicely placed subject lends to the feeling of height of buildings !

Of course these are my views and opinions Smile

Very nice indeed !!!

I like them too, pretty fresh purchase. I have two one with Vaskar, one with Color Skopar I think both excellent and small!
