Sydney,

Welcome back! I hope you travelled well and it's not to hot! You have gotten the most fun out of the 135mm L lens. It really is a magnificent and under appreciate prime. Your work with it as a casual portrait lens in informal settings is optimum as you make any surrounding pleasant with the bokeh as here.

Now we see flowers. This is a change. I hope you have not run out of people!

Will address them later as I have a shoot in the am. Just for now, are you sure you want such a large bar on you pictures. Rather put your watermark signature at an angle on the petals but small as this bar really cuts down the experience. Just a thought to consider.

Asher - I know I need to redo my watermark. I am no good at creating them. I use that one for people photos mostly, especially for any photos of children, for protection/safety of the image (and the person). I will try to make a smaller one I can use for other photos.

Sydney,

This is my favorite. I've come back to it several times. It's beyond pretty or nice and other sweet things for mementos or postcards. It has tranquility too.

Congrats. You do get your money's-worth from the 135mm L lens1
