very beautiful photos!

I know that some may say that a photo can't be 3D, but imo the 55mm Takumars do have that quality and your masterfully taken photos show that very well

Thank you Kuuan.
It is very good lens (basic cheap standart lens from Asahi Pentax) with great picture output. All pictures are before PP in LR
Picture quality as CZJ Pancolar 1.8/50 anytime better.

4 and 5 are stunning. However, may I suggest you crop out the grass at the bottom of 4?just the rogue blades sticking out at all angles. It introduced needless clutter. Smile

Just my opinion, but after that its gallery worthy I reckon.

I love all my takumars BTW. Super lenses!

Agree No. 4 need small crop from bottom - will be better without grass blades Smile

On your first series, I also was drawn to number 4. The light and mist are very effective.

On your second series, the light reflected on the cross on the top of the church in the first photo reminds me of some of the effects that Ansel Adams achieved with the clear light in the desert west of the US.

I also liked the image with the hanging laundry - very nice contrast.

You are getting great results, but, as I always say, it's the photographer that makes the lens, not the reverse.
