Incredible use of this lens! Often we see users trying to create the swirls without too much interest in the composition of the shot...yours are incredible all round shots! And your model looks like a bit like Katy Perry

amazing series, which tells me which lens I have to get next.

Very creative, as already said you use the swirle perfectly for composing.

Cheers

Very good use of this lens.
I like the images with the flare used for composition.
Simply great.

Beautiful use of this amazing lens with swirley bokeh on purpose, serving the image compsition and final rendering very well.
I have to give it a little walk, now...

About your first model, maybe you'd prefer Danica Patrick as a comparison ?

I usually don't like photos with swirly bokeh, but on the first tree portraits, it just works!
